Future manufacturing automation where a robot arm recognizes products on its own using 3D scan data and performs the work, in blue and orange lighting

AI Vision + AI Robot convergence · Perceive → Decide → Act

Physical AI

AI-driven seeing and judging is now unmanned, but action is still taught by people. Now, given only the goal, the robot decides where and how to work — and executes.

Perceives on its own
Decides on its own
Acts on its own

Why Physical AI

Vision alone only sees; robots alone have no eyes. Manufacturing innovation is complete only when perception and action are connected.

Vision Only = Just Watching

Even when AI perceives the situation, the action after the decision still depends on people and robot teaching.

Robot Only = A Machine Without Eyes

Moving only by taught rules — every product or process change means a person has to teach it all over again.

Physical AI = Perceive · Decide · Act

Perceive → Decide → Act → Automatic feedback. Shifting from Human-in-the-loop to Machine-in-the-loop.

ERAE CS — Vision Picking & Automatic Cart Loading of Hot-Stamped Parts

On a hot-stamped (PHS) automotive body-part line, AI vision recognizes parts on the conveyor and the loading cart, and two cobots calculate loading positions that fit the cart on their own. When the product changes, you only enter its dimensions.

1 Part recognition Position and orientation of parts on the conveyor 2 Vision picking Two cobots grip at the recognized coordinates 3 Cart recognition Cart type detected, positions auto-calculated 4 Auto loading Enter product size — rows and layers stacked

Rows and loading positions are calculated from the cart size and product dimensions, greatly reducing re-teaching for each product.

AI that only watched now takes action

Evolving from today's integrated system (V1.5) to teaching-less operation that decides its own methods (V2.0).

V1.5

Today — Integrated System

  • AI Vision + Robot integration: AI sees, and the robot executes according to defined rules.
  • 3D scan-based position and pose estimation dramatically reduces dependence on teaching.
  • Being applied on a production line for vision picking and automatic cart loading of hot-stamped parts.
V2.0

Goal — Zero-Teaching

  • AI sees and decides how to act on its own. "Zone B would be more efficient for this."
  • It sees the results and learns better methods — fed back automatically through MLOps.
  • We are developing a teaching-less engine that operates from goals alone, without human teaching.

The 3 Technologies That Make It Possible

The core technology axis for moving from perception to autonomous action.

Transfer Learning

Rapidly transfers capabilities learned in one process to new products and processes. (Domain Adaptation)

Imitation Learning

Robots learn refined motions on their own by imitating skilled workers.

Automatic Feedback

Work result data cycles back into MLOps automatically, continuously improving the next operation.

Having operated AI Vision on the factory floor for 10 years and built MLOps ourselves, we can finally connect judgment and action.
