Open robotics AI & Deep-Tech education

Introduction

Welcome to Open Robotics AI & Deep-Tech Education, a structured, open-source educational initiative designed to provide hands-on training in robotics, AI, automation, and business development. This project integrates deep-tech learning with real-world applications, offering a clear roadmap for individuals looking to build, use, maintain, and commercialize robotic systems.

What you will learn

AI-driven warehouse automation – Design, build, and deploy autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent storage systems.
Deep-tech fundamentals – Embedded systems, AI-powered navigation, computer vision, and reinforcement learning.
Real-world robotics applications – Industry-driven solutions for e-commerce, e-grocery, logistics, and last-mile automation.
Business & entrepreneurship – Develop scalable robotics startups, integrate automation in SMEs, and explore Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) models.

This initiative consists of three interconnected pillars:

Deep-tech and robotics training – Theoretical and practical AI-robotics education.
Hands-on product development – Developing AMRs, cobots, and AI-based warehouse automation systems.
Business & entrepreneurship – Scaling robotic solutions into commercial ventures.

Problem-based learning

Small and medium-sized warehouses face increasing pressure to handle growing e-commerce demand, optimize storage, and reduce operational costs. Traditional automation solutions are expensive and complex, leaving many SMEs without scalable options. Many businesses struggle with labor shortages, inefficient inventory management, and high order fulfillment costs.

The lack of accessible automation training further limits the ability of businesses to implement effective solutions. Many engineers, operators, and business owners lack the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to adopt robotics, AI, and deep-tech innovations.

Our solution

Open Robotics AI & Deep-Tech Education is an open-source educational initiative that not only provides structured training but also enables hands-on engagement with real automation systems. Our platform is built around two key open-source projects:

OpenAMR – Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for warehouse logistics, material handling, and automation.
EasyMove – AI-powered, puzzle-based automated rack-moving system for intelligent storage, sorting, and replenishment.

By combining AMRs with AI-driven dynamic storage, we provide an affordable, scalable, and flexible warehouse automation solution for businesses while training professionals in deep-tech disciplines.
