Mediate Srl was established with the aim of bringing to the market disruptive technological and scientific advances in robotics improving the efficiency and quality of industrial and medical procedures. In general terms, many recent developments in a wide variety of fields including Artificial Intelligence (AI), image processing, sensing or cloud computing have enabled Mediate Srl to “humanize” traditional industrial robotic arms by improving their perception and intelligence. This “humanization” of the robotic arms allows for flexible traditionally human-performed tasks, such as most of the operations performed in SMEs or in surgical procedures, to benefit from the precision, reliability and robustness of industrial robotics.
