sewts

sewts is a Munich-based deep-tech startup founded in 2019 that focuses on robotics for automating the handling of easily deformable materials, particularly textiles. The company aims to enhance industrial automation by enabling robots to perform complex tasks that require human-like perception and cognitive skills. Their approach, branded as "Physical AI," combines artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics to allow robots to predict and adapt to the behavior of soft materials in real time. The flagship product, VELUM, launched in late 2022, automates the feeding of textiles into existing folding machines in industrial laundries. This system integrates commercial robots, grippers, and cameras to analyze textiles and translate data into robotic commands, improving efficiency in textile handling. sewts primarily targets the industrial laundry sector but also sees potential applications in other industries involving deformable materials. The company is committed to sustainability and aims to simplify complex manual labor through intelligent automation.
