Standard Bots acquires READY Robotics’ IP to advance AI for robot training
- Standard Bots has acquired all the IP of READY Robotics, comprised of ForgeOS robot-agnostic operating system’s software, patents, and trademarks.
- Standard Bots plans to market READY's API with its own training software and to bring its UI and AI platform to NVIDIA Omniverse and other robot vendors.
- The acquisition will enable Standard Bots to make its AI control software usable with multiple robot brands.
- READY had raised $40m in eight years, but reportedly had difficulty persuading robot manufacturers to work with ForgeOS, and shut down in August. Standard Bots, which is focused on using AI to train robots, acquired only the IP of READY Robotics.
- Standard Bots has already developed applications for its robot, the RO1 arm, which has a built-in 3D camera.
- The company is developing AI-capable robots from the ground up with a safety layer.
- The technology aims to prevent an AI model from driving robot arms into a collision by building new robots designed from the ground up to run AI models with safety built-in.
- Research labs working on foundation models are already using Standard Bots' integrated systems. The company also provides handheld devices for imitation learning, enabling robots to generalize behavior and correct motion in real time.
- Standard Bots believes its technology can help avoid much of the time and expense currently spent on developing industrial robot applications. Users can collect training data, fine-tune, and train on top of a foundation model, and deploy to any major robot brand.
- Standard Bots has already developed specific solutions for welding, machine-tending, and palletizing applications. The company is committed to the task of democratising technology by making robots more accessible and easier to train.
