Covariant is empowering industrials to perceive and act like humans instead of just strictly following pre-programmed or planned trajectories. Their technology enables existing robot hardware to handle a much wider range of tasks for which existing solutions would otherwise break down, including bin-picking of complex shapes, de-palletizing of irregular stacks and manipulation of deformable objects such as food, wires or cables and fluid-bags.
