Follow Inspiration, S.A. is a Portuguese autonomous mobile robot developer founded in 2012 and now trading as Inspire Robotics; the followinspiration.pt domain redirects to inspirerobotics.ai. The company reports about 55 staff and states that it develops both hardware and software in-house.
Its first product was wiiGO, an autonomous shopping trolley that used image recognition and machine learning to follow a specific user and avoid obstacles, aimed at shoppers with reduced mobility. wiiGO was supported by a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument project (grant 808826, EUR 50,000 EU contribution on a EUR 71,429 budget, February to April 2018) and the company has been backed by Portugal Ventures.
The current range is industrial intralogistics. Published mobile robots are the FI 100 KG for carts and racks with 3D SLAM and obstacle avoidance; the FI 250 LOW PROFILE, carrying 250 kg under carts and racks at up to 1.4 m/s for up to 10 hours and able to pivot in place; the FI 250 LOW PROFILE OMNIDIRECTIONAL, also 250 kg, for dollies, with up to 12 hours of operation; the FI 500 KG for pallets and pallet-sized containers using 3D SLAM; and the AMR 100, carrying 100 kg at up to 2 m/s with a built-in lifting device. An autonomous forklift line sits alongside them. The software core is BlackBox, which runs the platforms and a fleet-management system.
Customer testimonials published on the company site come from Sonae, Cork Supply, Delta and Continental.
