Announcing our Strategic Partnership with Ahead.IO Labs – PRESS RELEASE
Rotterdam, The Netherlands, September 2024 Ahead.IO Labs and Asimovo are excited to officially announce their strategic partnership, following a three-day launch workshop held at Asimovo’s headquarters.. Team members traveled from three countries and gathered to align on key technical and strategic initiatives, marking the beginning of a powerful collaboration..
Ahead and Asimovo believe that by combining their strengths, they can create a new value proposition for the robotics community. Ahead.IO Labs brings its leadership in repairable, modular robotics hardware, while Asimovo provides advanced digital development infrastructure. Together, they offer a smarter, more integrated approach to developing and testing robots.
“Robotics is no longer just about mechatronics and hardware, it is about building complex behaviors, running iterative simulations and processing vast amounts of data. Robotics combines skills across all engineering and scientific disciplines.” says Alex Santo, CEO of Ahead.IO Labs. “Our partnership with Asimovo now means we can work seamlessly between physical robots, native robotics tools and the cloud.”
The first milestones in the collaboration will focus on two key areas:
- The technical collaboration will focus on launching the digital twin. Making a combined digital and physical proposition available for potential customers
- The commercial applications will be released and demonstrated at upcoming industry events, including the ICRA@40 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society anniversary conference happening in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (September 2024), and ROSCon Developer conference in Odense, Denmark (October 2024).
“Robotics has the potential to help numerous industries transform. Leading sectors such as agriculture, construction and health will all need autonomous solutions as part of this transformation. In order for our solution to impact eventual end users we need to help build an ecosystem” says Asimovo CEO and founder, Christine Fraser “ Our partnership with Ahead means we are now one step closer to this.
Both Ahead.IO Labs and Asimovo are thrilled by the possibilities this partnership brings and are open to exploring additional collaborative opportunities as the partnership evolves and new possibilities emerge.
