The competition called on experts worldwide to develop innovative solutions that enable remote control of mobile robots during autonomous inspections in production plants. With its platform, Roboverse Reply has shown how artificial intelligence and human expertise can be combined in real-life applications to tackle challenging tasks in industry.

The final of the AIRA Challenge took place at this year's Achema, the world's largest trade fair for the process industry. With this competition, the chemical and pharmaceutical companies BASF, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim and Wacker are promoting the development of new robotics applications for their industry. This year's five finalists demonstrated how they can navigate their robots remotely through production facilities and use them to perform various tasks such as opening doors, maintaining equipment or checking inventories.

Roboverse Reply convinced the jury with a user-friendly, easily scalable solution that is 'enterprise-ready'. The solution allows mobile robots such as Spot from Boston Dynamics to be moved intuitively via hand tracking or controllers using standard components such as VR goggles and their gripper arms to be used precisely. Users can also use the goggles to call up additional information such as measured values and site plans, enabling them to make even more informed decisions. As all data is processed in the customer's cloud infrastructure, the solution can be used from any location and quickly integrated into existing systems.

Roboverse Reply specializes in integration scenarios around robotics and reality capture with mixed reality, where cloud or on-premises infrastructures require enterprise-ready solutions. Roboverse Reply's solutions include AI expertise with sensor-based anomaly detection, fleet management for the Internet of Robot Things, digital twins and business logic to deliver end-to-end support for customers.
