Generative robot programming
Automate the stations nobody could.
Vesper makes industrial robots flexible enough for high-mix work. Your engineers decide what the robot does; Vesper writes, proves and documents the program.
The problem
Today, your line changes and your robot doesn't.
A classic robot cell is programmed for one part, one pattern, one position. Every new variant means a new integration project. So the high-mix stations stay manual, while the people who run them get harder to find.
Use cases
With Vesper, your robot keeps up.
- 01
Palletising and depalletising
Mixed and deformable packaging. A new pattern is just a new task.
- 02
Bin picking
Parts in random poses, even inside a floppy plastic bag.
- 03
Line feeding
Adapts to every part, stillage and rack, at takt time.
- 04
Assembly and cable insertion
Finds the right plug wherever it sits, with vision, depth and pressure sensors.
- 05
Kitting
Varying items per order, including small bagged parts and soft packs.
- 06
Machine tending
Small batches and frequent changeovers.
These six are where we usually start, not where we stop. Wherever a fixed program can't keep up with the task, Vesper can. Check your station

Payback
Stations that never paid back, finally automated.
Indicative payback on a typical station running two shifts. We work out the figure for your station during the Floor Walk.
- Product changes no longer need a new project
- Your own team makes the changes
- Connects to your ERP and MES
Most of the cost is engineering, and it comes back with every change. That is the part Vesper takes out.

How it works
Your engineers stay in control.
Their time goes into streamlining the process, not into robot code.
- Bring the task
Tell us what the station needs to do.
- See it proven
Tested on your station's cases before it moves.
- Your engineers approve
Nothing runs without their sign-off.
- Your team takes over
Changes on the line are made by your own people.
Safety
People come first. Every program is proven before it moves.
Simulated first. In a digital twin of your own cell.
Certified safety envelope. Limits the robot may never cross.
Readable and traceable. Which version ran, where and when.
Your team signs off. Programs run locally, in your plant.
Ready for the EU Machinery Regulation, which applies from January 2027.
How we like to proceed
Start with a quick talk, then claim a Floor Walk.
- 01Quick talkA sanity check on your stations and a first view on fit.
- 02Vesper Floor WalkOur engineers walk your floor with your team and map where Vesper pays back first. We do these for free, so we can only take on five per quarter.
- 03FeasibilityWe test the task in simulation and tell you what it takes.
- 04Fixed-fee pilotOne station, from brief to a proven program on your hardware.
After the first station, your team takes over: run it, re-task it, then automate the next ones.
