# Robots that understand what is going on around them.

We build agentic robotics: robots that use vision to see what is in front of them, take their instructions from Core and pick the next step themselves. From a single arm at a packing table to a complete line.

## See, decide, act

This is how every robot solution we build is put together, from a single arm to a complete line.

- **See** — Cameras and vision models recognise products, positions and anomalies. The robot knows what is in front of it, not merely that something is.

- **Decide** — The logic runs as flows in Core, right next to your orders and stock. What the robot does follows from your process, and you can get at it.

- **Act** — Arms, grippers and lines carry it out. The same control layer that already runs entire distribution lines for our customers.

## What agentic robotics actually means

A classic robot repeats exactly what it was programmed to do. An agentic robot is given a goal and works out the steps in between for itself. Both have their place, and we build both.

- **Fully autonomous if you want it** — An agentic robot can work without a human in the loop: give it a goal and it works out the steps. You can demonstrate a task, but you do not have to. How much autonomy the robot gets is a quality decision we make together, process by process.

- **Or simply repetitive, around the clock** — Not every process calls for intelligence. The same arm will happily run the same motion day and night, reliably and without fuss, if that is what your line needs.

- **Hardware suited to your floor** — We select and adapt grippers and tooling to whatever passes through your hands: suction cups for boxes, soft grippers for fragile products, stainless steel for wet environments.

## Ordinary hardware talks to Core natively too

Robotics rarely starts at a robot arm. Core has a built-in local devices manager that drives equipment on the floor directly, with no vendor layer in between.

Everything shows up as a device in your environment and can be used from your flows, just like any other step in your process.

- Conveyors, sorters and weighing cells

- Sensors and IoT equipment

- Label printers, scanners and robot arms

- Native DOBOT blocks: straight over TCP to arm, gripper and camera

## In simulation first, on the floor second

Before a single robot arrives at your door, we rebuild the cell in our simulator. Grip points, cycle times and exceptions are tested digitally, so the physical installation holds no surprises.

- You see how the cell performs before you commit

- Changes are tested digitally before they go live

- Informed by research with TU Eindhoven, among others

### Robotics is never a side project here

The same people who build your software and your warehouse design the robot cell. It all comes together in one system, from order to gripper.

## Wondering whether robotics is right for your operation?

We are glad to think it through with you, including when the conclusion is that a robot is not the best investment right now.
