REVOLUTION IN ROBOTICS: FROM CAD TO CONTROL WITH ONE SOFTWARE

Fuzzy Logic Robotics is crushing industrial robot complexity. The company has announced the first release of Fuzzy Studio during Hannover Messe Industry 2021, a game changer for unlocking flexible robotic production.

With their clear mission in mind: “Enable the next revolution in robotic automation by crushing complexity and transforming the way people interact with and use robots”, the company’s CEO, Ryan Lober, explained how Fuzzy Studio will make industrial robots programming and handling more accessible and easier than ever, and outlined the main characteristics of the software.

Some of the significant features that the software provides are:

• Drag and drop CAD parts into the 3D digital twin, automatically generate complex trajectories and deploy to the production robot in one click - all with one universal software platform.
• From offline simulation to real-time control, Fuzzy Studio removes the gap between simulation and reality to reduce downtime and streamline the robotics workflow.
• Designed from the ground up to drastically reduce the need orobotics expertise thanks to no-code realtime digital twin technology.
• With two clicks, swap between any make and model of robot to find the right one for the application – no need to switch softwares and redo time-intensive design work.
• Handles even the most complex robotic applications and accessible to any size of company.

The problem until today
Both industrial and collaborative robotics are too costly for truly flexible production due to the complexity of software and integration.

Today, only a few handling applications, such as pick-and-place, have been made truly accessible to nonexperts and thus cost-effective for flexible production. The vast majority of robotic and cobotic applications, however, require complex and heterogeneous software tools and brand experts.

These tools require significant training and expertise. As a result, more than 75% of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a robot are related to software training and services in standard mass production. In flexible production, this number can skyrocket to over 90% of the TCO and kill the potential return on investment of the robotic system.

Solution: one intuitive platform for all steps
Fuzzy Studio is an easy-to-use and universal software platform which reduces robotics programming costs by 10!

With Fuzzy Studio any factory can automate with robotics quickly, simply and cost-effectively - even for complex applications in processing, dispensing and welding.

• Intuitive and simple like a video game.
• One standard interface for all brands of robots.
• Industrial grade precision and performance for real time control of the robot.

Fuzzy Studio covers all of the steps in the integration of a robotic workcell: from pre-project, design, and commissioning to real-time production control, inline reprogramming and maintenance.

Designed to accelerate robotic uptake and usage for all stakeholders, from major manufacturers to small and medium-sized businesses, to systems integrators and even robot OEMs.

Select robots from an extensive library
Browse through a comprehensive collection of robot models from the supported brands and filter by specification.

Import cad and 3d files easily
Quickly construct a robotic system with high fidelity and interactive CAD and 3D objects. Formats supported: 40+ formats including industrial CAD STEP and IGES.

Find the right end-of-arm tooling
Select from multiple tooling options from top manufacturers or import custom designed tools. All supported tools are plug and play compatible.

Visually create and modify trajectories
No more confusing lines of code or coordinate systems. Visually construct tool trajectories. Modify trajectories in real-time, see the changes in 3D, and execute them directly on the real robot.

Drag and drop automatic trajectory generation
Drag and drop 3D CAD objects into the design and proprietary algorithms automatically generate tool trajectories, which avoid collisions, save time, enhance performance, and reinforce safety. Turn hours of meticulous labor into a few easy clicks.

Create a full process without code
Orchestrate trajectories, tools, sensors, and synchronize I/O. No code to write.

Swap any robot and keep working
Thanks to proprietary algorithms, users can easily swap any robot with two clicks in their design to find the right one for the job. All trajectories and processes are automatically re-computed and incompatibilities can be fixed easily.

Deploy with one click
Thanks to deterministic real-time control algorithms: “what you see in simulation is what you get in reality”. Deploy an entire application with one click to the production robot and bridge the gap between simulation and reality. Monitor and adjust processes directly and in real-time.

When enquired about a crucial issue such as software safety, Ryan Lober confirmed it’s one of their main concerns and the software is totally compliant with the different robot manufacturers safety protocols.

Fuzzy Studio is a 100% software solution, and this is the key element that makes them stand out from other alike companies.

This promising start-up has already its first customers, as Ryan Lober confirmed, mainly in the aerospace and nuclear sectors, and the scope of sectors, applications and potential customers is surely endless.
