Apera AI
"4D Vision for Robotic Automation"
Apera AI develops 4D Vision software (Vue) that uses AI to give industrial robots human-like sight for bin picking, assembly, machine tending and sorting.
Apera AI is a Vancouver, Canada-based robotics software company that develops AI-powered 4D Vision technology to make vision-guided industrial robots more reliable and productive. Founded by Sina Afrooze and Armin Khatoonabadi, the company combines deep learning, machine learning and 2D cameras to deliver object recognition, robotic pose estimation and path planning that approaches human-like sight for automated manufacturing. Its flagship product, Apera Vue, is complete robotic guidance software that enables robots to handle challenging applications including random bin picking of shiny, clear or nested parts, precision assembly, machine tending, sorting and packaging, while operating reliably in all lighting conditions from bright outdoor light to near darkness. The Apera Forge (Forge Lab) Design Studio provides web-based AI vision training and simulation, allowing manufacturing engineers to train vision programs and validate complete workcells before construction, lowering the expertise needed to deploy vision-guided automation. Apera also offers VuePort stereo cameras and the VuePod hardware bundle to complete vision cells.
The company's technology has been deployed with major robot brands such as ABB and adopted by manufacturers including Linamar/Hastech and Flex-N-Gate, with reported accuracy improvements to 99% in automotive clip placing and bin picking. Apera AI serves automotive, medical device and life sciences, and metal fabrication industries through a network of certified system integrator partners, and maintains a U.S. Center of Excellence in Farmington Hills, Michigan, in addition to its Vancouver headquarters.
