Excellence in Research: A Faster Path To Innovation
A multidisciplinary platform for collaborative development of robotics and AI solutions in Israel and China, offering managed R&D, IP transfer, product integration and marketing partnerships.
We proudly support the leading Israeli university robotics labs at Ben Gurion University, Technion and Tel Aviv University
- Active R&D Projects: AI Powered Service Robots
Below are some of our vetted R&D projects from selected university robotics labs and startups partners, for funding and licensing by companies and investors
Human Intent to Approach
The intention to approach or avoid a person is communicated through expressions and their temporal order. Machines are taught the meaning of facial expressions in a scene.
Visual Localization and Mapping
Visual SLAM algorithm estimates the robot's location and enables long distance operation without any drift.
Speech Based Emotion Recognition
Emotions detection by an analysis of the tone of voice, accompanied with physiological measurements
Speakers In Noisy Environments
Developing speaker localization algorithms for spherical arrays around robot's head for various acoustic conditions
Proactive Robotic Assistance
Hand gestures are complementary mean to voice commands, when calling robots for assistance in public places
Video Analysis and Expression Recognition
Real-time interface to video systems used by robots based on cumulative samples of interactions scenarios in terms of conversation culture, language, subjects, length and dialogue.
Visual Media Context for Interaction
Responding to video content with robotics reactions, both verbal and non-verbal, as a new media experience which falls between content and the consumer, for a higher level of engagement.
Robot-Human interruption & interaction
Non-verbal signal detection of “time to interrupt”. A machine learning project for non-verbal signals, making interruptions more fluent and acceptable with natural pauses and continuation.
Speech Enhancement & Recognition
In noisy environments which include reverberation, speech recognition rate tends to significantly decrease. Microphone arrays with multiple channel processing offer speech enhancement.
Superior Acoustic Information
Increase the amount of acoustic information recorded, speech enhancement and recognition.
Facial Expressions
Automatic comprehension of social interactions, as well as natural interfaces between humans and machines
Sentiment Consumer Profiling
Adapting the sentiment, state of mind and consumer profiling analysis by using conversational speech prosody
Eye Tracking For Intentions And Needs
A faster and more accurate technique than conversation or motor responses, for detection of needs and preferences
Construction of a Dynamic Map for Robots
High quality globally consistent map produced in real-time by using semantic labelling of the map geometries, with the help of one or more robot, so the robot plans its course in complex environments
"Big Data" of Face-To-Face Interactions
A network of robots collecting a large-scale dataset of people physical interactions with robots in public places, enabling one robot’s interaction to affect the machine learning of the others.
Proactive Robotic Assistance
Improving the way robots physically behave around people, in terms of velocity, approach, proxemics, etc. so a person in need of assistance can be accompanied and assisted.
