Mimic Kit: Human Skill - Machine Precision

Mimic is an intuitive software platform that captures and transfers workers’ organic hand movements into robots by demonstration. It allows automation of complex tool paths that are too difficult and time consuming to program with a traditional point-to-point approach. It is a modular and open software platform, which means that users maintain control of their robot, can use their own tracking technology and work with both handheld and robotic tools they already know. The Mimic UR Kit consists of Nordbo Robotics’ pose tracker sensor and a corresponding URCap, ensuring an easy plug and play experience. Robots equipped with Mimic enable flexible automation of surface treatment in application areas of grinding, sanding, deburring, painting and pouring. There Mimic provides scalable flexibility as it does not require a robotics expert on-site to tweak and rearrange a production schedule. Workers can reconfigure their own production in a matter of hours, and without external involvement.
