ICARO
Collaborative robot with conversational AI for the Circular Factory
An integrated solution combining autonomous robotics, computer vision and conversational intelligence to automate waste management and support staff training.
ICARO on the job
Start missions with natural voice commands
- •Start collection with simple phrases ("Robot collect waste")
- •No tablet, joystick or complex interface
- •Reduced operational load for the operator
- •Accessible to non-technical staff
→ Simple, intuitive and immediate human-machine interaction.
Intelligent waste recognition
- •Advanced computer vision (proprietary AI training)
- •Automatic identification of: processing waste, industrial containers
- •High accuracy even in real industrial environments
- •Indoor and outdoor operation
→ Reduces human error and increases process efficiency.
Autonomous navigation in complex environments
- •Mapping of the production environment
- •Safe movement between machinery, shelving and obstacles
- •Programmable routes (waypoints)
- •Continuous operation without constant supervision
→ The robot works while your team focuses on value-added activities.
Automated collection and manipulation
- •6-axis robotic arm with gripper
- •Precise pickup even of small objects
- •Controlled release into the correct container
- •Automatic repetitive cycle until area is complete
→ Full automation of the cycle: detect → collect → dispose.
Automatic correction algorithm
- •If release is incorrect, the system detects the waste again
- •Automatic retry
- •Drastically reduced manual intervention
→ Resilient and self-correcting system.
Intelligent dashboard and backend
- •Training of new object categories
- •Customisation of voice commands
- •Activity and performance reports
- •Operational analysis of collection cycles
→ Full traceability and process control.
ICARO for Training
AI platform to train staff on sustainability and Industry 5.0
Integrated AI Digital Tutor
- •Natural language interaction
- •Personalised answers on training content
- •Continuous support during learning
- •Intelligent fallback management
→ A virtual assistant that supports the operator through training.
Modular microlearning
- •Short, focused learning paths
- •Videos, quizzes, interactive maps
- •Non-linear learning
- •Web-based access from any device
→ Effective training without blocking production.
Gamification and KPIs
- •Badges and progressive levels
- •Final tests and certificates
- •Progress monitoring
- •Analytics dashboard for HR and management
→ Concrete measurement of training impact.
