Fuzzy Logic was founded by a franco-american team of specialists in command and control of industrial robots. Together, they discovered a radically new paradigm that allows untrained users to easily interact with, control, and program industrial robots for complex applications. Today, Fuzzy Logic provides an all-in-one and ultra-intuitive software platform, which dramatically simplifies the use of robots and makes industrial robot programming fast, efficient, and cost effective for the low volume, high mix production demands of agile manufacturing. Our Mission and Conviction: We help factories power up their competitiveness and autonomy, by making robots adapt to them - not the other way around. Every company, whatever its size, should be able to use industrial robots as a simple, everyday, economical tool accessible to non-experts.

Kodris is a platform designed to teach coding to kids between the ages of 8 and 16. It provides the chance for e-learning, which is essentially required in primary and secondary education, and lays the groundwork for more sophisticated computer skills by developing students computational and algorithmic thinking abilities. They develop the capacity to consider many factors and come up with ideas, to think logically and creatively, and to recommend the shortest possible solutions. When students comprehend how algorithms work, they realize that everything happens in a precise order and that when there is no order, the activities taken do not occur. Coding is crucial for interdisciplinary communication across disciplines, not only in computer science. By Kodris, its subject; • R&D carried out at both private and public schools • Learning level covering different age groups • With curriculum • Game-based • Online • Student – Teacher interaction • It teaches to build algorithms • It is an online e-learning platform that teaches real coding language.

Imperium Drive has launched fetchcar.io, a driverless car hire service for urban mobility. The service allows users to summon a car hire with a smartphone app. The car is then remotely driven by an operator (similar to how a drone is operated) to the user doorstep arriving completely driverless. Once the car is delivered, the user unlocks the car and drives to his/her destination as normal car hire. When finished, the user pulls over, ends the ride on the app and walks away. The operator takes over control and drives the car remotely to the next customer or to the nearest parking base.

Privacy-preserving lossless visual data anonymization technology for AI training and advanced analytics across multiple industries. -- Syntonym provides a Generative AI-based Synthetic Anonymization solution, to create advanced use cases for businesses while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Going beyond traditional anonymization to maintain meaning and utility in visual data, Syntonym introduces a privacy-preserving state-of-the-art technology solution for businesses, to enable their future-proof use and analysis of image and video data. #1 ITU Big Bang Start-up Challenge 2020 #1 Mobility Solutions - Mercedes-Benz StartUP 2021 Privacy as a Strategic Priority Technologies that will determine the future of many industries including mobility, smart cities, retail, healthcare, industrial production and robotics, rely on visual data. When visual data is not processed in a way that meets individuals’ privacy expectations and ensures compliance with data protection regulations; this not only leaves businesses at risk of non-compliance but also damages the reliability of AI algorithms. Focused on data protection by design and by default, Synthetic Anonymization Technology prevents structural and functional losses in traditional anonymization by preserving key analytical metrics. - How Syntonymization Works Synthetic Anonymization Technology irrevocably anonymizes faces in image and video data, by replacing them with synthetic (non-existent) faces, in real-time. This Syntonymization process excludes any personal identifier in visual data; while preserving, at minimum, key metrics such as head pose, gaze, facial expressions, age group and gender. With privacy protection and user trust being competitive advantages for technology companies, Syntonymization empowers businesses to process high-utility visual data while ensuring compliance with ever-evolving compliance requirements amongst a multitude of jurisdictions.
