The Testing and Experimentation Facility for validating new AI technologies in the context of the manufacturing industry.

Validate your latest AI and robotics technologies by accessing our facilities and manufacturing industry data, or learn how a new technology can be applied to your specific context—with potential access to grants.

Services

Some of our services are listed below; a complete overview of our services in the Netherlands can be found in our service catalog.

All companies in Europe can request services.

Operator of the Future

This service aims to experiment with a robotic solution that can operate different machines and load and unload different products from different types of machines. The setup consists of a robot, a 3D Vision camera and smart software.

Leveraging digital & AR operator support technologies for work instructions

This service tests, validates and evaluates digital/mixed reality support in assembly and service (feasibility). The user (engineer/developer) can experiment with the possibilities of combining work instructions with quality inspection.

Instructing robot by demonstration

To spend as little time as possible programming how to perform a task, the user can learn the robot by demonstration. This can be done by first controlling the robot by hand while monitoring its state. Eventually, this can be done by learning from video or, for example, by following the movement of a human operator with an optitracker system.

The Netherlands in the AI-MATTERS Project

The Dutch partners are focusing on the following challenges within the high-mix, low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing industry:

Factory-level optimization
Human-robot interaction
Circular economy
