The Robot Programming Gap: From Demonstration to Deployment

The robot sees a task once. Later, production runs a manually recoded version with lost nuance. We built a direct path from demonstration to deployment.

Partial Observability in Warehouse Picking

Clutter, overlap, and shifting light make warehouse picking a partial observability problem.

When Simulation Still Fails on Hardware

Abundant simulation data can still produce a policy that fails on hardware. Our approach reduces the sim to real gap without custom hardware.

Learned Policy Transfer Across Robot Platforms

A policy trained on UR10e must be adapted for FANUC. Transfer is not zero shot. Lessons from production deployment.

Sub-50ms Decision Architecture at the Robot Edge

The 50ms ceiling keeps Neuralzome control decisions local. Cloud round-trips stay outside the loop.

Real Time Constraint Satisfaction for Multi Robot Cells

When two robots share state unsynchronized, stale data can send both into one zone. We use shared state constraints without a central planner bottleneck.

The Scheduling Trap in High-Mix Assembly

High-mix exposes policy failures that rigid automation hides. Four fixture variants across six months taught us more than benchmarks.

Why PID Controllers Struggle with Dynamic Manipulation

PID control remains elegant and useful. It reaches its limit when dynamics vary and contact states are uncertain.
