Ambi Robotics announces the launch of PRIME-1, the first Robotic Foundation Model to be deployed in real-world commercial warehouse operations. PRIME-1, which stands for Production-Ready Industrial Manipulation Expert, provides a unified transformer backbone that can be fine-tuned for a variety of robot operations including 3D perception, package picking and quality control. PRIME-1 significantly increases performance, accelerates product development, and increases reliability and maintainability of AI-powered robotic solutions from Ambi Robotics.
“With PRIME-1, we’re addressing the most pressing challenges in warehouse robotics: the need for adaptable, scalable solutions that evolve with operational demands and amplify return-on-investment,” said Jeff Mahler, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Ambi Robotics. “PRIME-1 allows our customers to leverage collective learning from our entire production fleet, empowering them to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving logistics landscape with increasing demand. Our customers now have the ability to respond faster to market dynamics and future-proof their operations in an industry where speed and precision are paramount.”
Key Takeaways:
- PRIME-1 was pre-trained with self-supervised deep learning on over 20 million high-quality images from individual pick, place, and pack events spanning 150,000 operating hours across the company's fleet of AI-powered robotic sorting systems in US warehouses. The training dataset represents about 1% of the data collected to-date.
- As a result, PRIME-1's training leverages a reliable depth of real warehouse data from identical systems deployed at scale. The breadth and specificity of data ensures PRIME-1 is optimized for precision and efficiency in real-world logistics operations.
