Programming industrial robots is costly and complex, often doubling hardware expenses. AICA's system addresses this challenge by enabling robots to adapt in real time, improving flexibility and efficiency in tasks such as assembly, polishing, and battery disassembly. Industry leaders like Schaeffler are already leveraging this technology to optimize production processes.
AICA's universal control framework enhances how robots perceive and interact with their environment, facilitating the integration of diverse hardware, sensors, and AI software. AICA Studio, the company's modular graphical interface, streamlines deployment from prototyping to full-scale production, removing barriers to AI adoption in manufacturing.
AICA’s AI-driven automation is not limited to traditional manufacturing. The company is part of the Eurostars-backed LAMBDA Project, which focuses on the automated disassembly of electric vehicle batteries to improve resource recovery in the EV supply chain. AICA is also exploring applications in the life sciences and chemical industries, where demand for autonomous laboratory automation is growing.
Co-founders Baptiste Busch (CEO) and Enrico Eberhard (CTO) bring expertise in robotics, machine learning, and advanced control systems, positioning AICA as a key player in industrial AI. With this latest investment, the company is set to expand its market reach and strengthen partnerships, driving the next phase of AI-powered industrial automation.
AICA was ranked among the TOP 100 Swiss Startups and won Venture Kick.
"Venture Kick played a crucial role in AICA's journey, providing the early support, funding, and mentorship that helped us turn research into a scalable business," commented Baptiste Busch, CEO and Co-Founder of AICA. "All the sessions helped us shape our business model, allowing us to bring intelligent automation to the industry.”
