About us

Welcome to AICA, where the world of robotics gets a little friendlier! Founded in Lausanne in 2019, the company originally comes from the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA) of EPFL. Now based in the Unlimitrust Campus by SICPA, our state-of-the-art software has been developed to fit the need of industrial robotic lines.

The adventure started when our co-founders stumbled upon a thought-provoking realization: the intricacy of today's robotics. Why should programming robots be so complex? Can't we bring robot programming to everyone's fingertips?

We recognized that traditional robotic systems require high expertise and endless hours, if not weeks, of hard work. That's when we realised we could be part of the change. At AICA, we've crafted a cutting-edge technology that seamlessly integrates the power of reinforcement learning (known as Artificial Intelligence) with closed-loop force control. Our goal: ensuring robot programming and manipulation is not just simplified, but pushes boundaries and is enjoyable.

Our commitment? To ensure that the vast world of robotics becomes accessible, understandable, and above all, user-friendly. Dive in, explore, and join us on this exciting journey of innovation and simplicity.

A world where human potential is amplified!

We are firm believers that the dirty, dull, and dangerous tasks don't define the human experience. Instead, they are perfect assignments for our robotic allies.

We are on a mission to reshape the narrative of robotics. Instead of robots overshadowing human potential, we believe they should be here to assist employees in their work. We are driven by the desire to simplify human-robot interactions, bringing them closer together.

Beyond technology, we believe people should be valued for their work, deserving of the best and most stimulating working conditions possible. By fostering an environment where they can thrive, we're not just enhancing their professional journey, but also enriching their personal lives.

Join us on the journey as we strive to bring humans and robots closer than ever before, while ensuring that every individual feels empowered.
