Live at PACK EXPO East: Tutor Intelligence Rewrites the Rules of Collaborative Robots

The MIT startup unveils vision system software that uses situational awareness to adapt to its environment.

Tutor March2022

At PACK EXPO East, Boston-based startup Tutor Intelligence demonstrated a collaborative robot (cobot) performing pick and place of different sized and shaped materials—in this case, a variety of wrapped candies—in a kitting assembly application.

Using the Tutor Intelligence vision software, the cobot learns complex environments for kitting, feeding, and packing by seeing and understanding what’s around it. It can handle irregular and variable items, including produce and textiles, and arrange them in bags, boxes, or trays.  Some application areas include kitting subscription or meal boxes, cosmetic kits, and gift sets, as well as e-commerce fulfillment packing, food packing, and feeding conveyors, for example.

In addition, the technology is based on a hybrid human/artificial intelligence engine that enables deployment in minutes, not months, and has a simple web interface for easy configuration and changeover. The human-in-the-loop AI lets robots learn new tasks in new environments without custom programming.
