SAN JOSE, Calif. — Vention, creator of what it says is the world’s only full-stack software and hardware automation platform, will debut its AI-driven bin-picking technology at NVIDIA GTC, an artificial intelligence (AI) conference for developers being held this week.

This new AI-driven process eliminates complex and expensive custom solutions that require programming — simplifying adoption of this in-demand automation solution. Vention is slated to commercialize its AI-driven bin-picking technology later this year.

During a live demonstration, an ABB GoFa CRB 15000 robot — equipped with vision, finger grippers, and connected to a Vention MachineMotion AI controller — will demonstrate its autonomous capabilities. Using only an uploaded CAD file of the part being processed, the robot understands how to detect, select, pick and organize the part with industry-leading speed and precision. This level of autonomy is possible through the powerful foundation models.

“AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and it’s helping Vention make automation even more accessible to businesses of all sizes,” said Etienne Lacroix, Founder and CEO of Vention. “Our latest innovation, developed by integrating hardware and AI models from NVIDIA, pushes autonomous bin picking beyond simple identification and retrieval — it adds intelligence and organization that reduces the need for expensive integration and programming time. This will ultimately make bin-picking automation more affordable to manufacturers.” 

“Generative AI and simulation technologies have reached a tipping point to accelerate physical AI deployments across manufacturing,” said Deepu Talla, VP of Robotics at NVIDIA. “Using NVIDIA Isaac Robotics platform, Vention is bringing the latest advances in AI to factories of all sizes, addressing both high-mix and high-volume manufacturing.”
