More industries. More real customer work. Introducing RhodaAtWork, a series on the customer workflows our robots are learning to handle across manufacturing and logistics. First up: unpacking, scanning and stacking component reels for electronics manufacturing.

Powered by the Direct Video-Action (DVA), the robot handles deformable packaging, tightly stacked parts and precise placement. Reels need to be neatly stacked to maximize tote capacity. In this example, the robot adjusts the reel after placement to keep the stack aligned.

Even when the initial action isn’t perfect, the model can recover and continue the workflow. Here, the model picks up both paper and plastic packaging at once, then recovers by separating them into the correct waste bins and continuing the workflow.

Packaging varies from box to box. Here, the model handles brown paper absent from this task's training data and places it in the paper bin. Our focus is complete customer workflows, including the variability that comes with them. More industries and tasks to come.

At Rhoda, we tackle real-world problems through fundamental research. Interested in building the future of robotics? Explore opportunities and apply:

The real challenge in robotics isn’t just getting the nominal action right, it’s handling all the variability and recovering when things don’t go as planned. More customer workflows to come!

Completing a customer workflow means handling the variation between steps: packaging that deforms, reels that come up together, and placement that affects the rest of the stack. In this RhodaAtWork series, we'll show how DVA handles those details across real customer workflows.

@charlotteavra is killing it!!!

sim to real world real quick please ;)

Pretty cool

next up: a bot to drive the mail truck 🤣🤝

Brilliant! We need real world deployment @RhodaAI has the right idea!
