Project A.T.O.M. - Agent for Task Oriented Manipulation

Agentic robotics for manufacturing.
Connect your equipment. Automate the work.

A.T.O.M. helps industrial teams use robot arms and shop-floor machinery with greater ease and confidence.
Our agentic software platform sits on top of new or existing hardware, translating operator intent into coordinated, safety-aware machine instructions. Vision, calibration, task constraints, end-effector control, and motion planning come together in one workflow for repeatable automation.

Application Spotlight: Machine Tending

A.T.O.M. coordinates a robot arm with a FANUC RoboDrill CNC machine in a three-part tending workflow: load the workpiece, start the cycle, and return the finished part. The same integration layer is designed to connect the equipment that makes a workcell run, including automated vises and varied end effectors.

01 / Load

Pick, orient, and load

A.T.O.M. guides the robot to grasp a metal workpiece, orient it for the workcell, and place it into the RoboDrill vise. The workflow can be adapted to the grippers, fixtures, and clamping equipment used in a production cell.

02 / Run

Coordinate the machine cycle

The robot closes the CNC door, locates the cycle-start control, and starts the machining operation. A.T.O.M. is built to learn the interfaces and operating steps of the equipment already on a shop floor.

CNC tendingMachine controlsCoordinated execution

03 / Unload

Return ready for the next cycle

After machining, the robot opens the door, retrieves the processed workpiece, and returns it to position. Structured task plans and reusable workflows make repeatable multi-step automation easier to set up and refine.

Capabilities

A.T.O.M. is Your Agentic Robotic Intelligence.

Describe the task in plain English, then let A.T.O.M. translate intent into structured workcell automation. The platform combines natural language control, vision, calibration, task planning, equipment interfaces, and operator-friendly tooling to make automation faster to set up and easier to adapt.

Natural language robot agent

AI Workcell Agent with Natural Language Control

Describe the task in plain English. The agent proposes a safe, structured plan across robots and connected equipment, prompts for constraints, and produces repeatable programs.

  • Task decomposition and parameter prompts
  • Motion program generation and replay
  • Human-in-the-loop approvals
Vision and calibration

Vision + Calibration Tooling

Practical perception and workspace calibration so your robot can act on real coordinates - robustly and repeatably.

  • Workspace calibration and coordinate mapping
  • Object localization within defined work zones
  • Inspection overlays and operator feedback
Motion planning and task execution

Task Planning + Execution

A.T.O.M. connects perception, constraints, end-effector control, and motion planning so one operator request can become a coordinated sequence across a workcell.

  • Multi-step manipulation planning
  • Collision-aware movement constraints
  • Repeatable execution across changing workspaces
Integration workflows and tooling

Integration Workflows + Tooling

A practical path for connecting robot arms, machinery, end effectors, and cell peripherals with versioned programs and repeatable setups.

  • Equipment and motion program library
  • Setup checklists and runbooks
  • Audit-friendly logs and exports

Demos

Building Agentic AI for Robots.

These demonstrations show A.T.O.M. translating operator intent into grounded workcell behavior across packaging, tool handoff, object recognition, shared workspaces, and multi-object autonomous execution.

Agentic control for robot arms

A.T.O.M. controls an industrial arm from plain-language requests through a single loop for speech, perception, task decomposition, motion primitives, and higher-level planning.

Natural languageMotion primitivesTask planning

Human cowork packaging

A human prepares a small package beside the workcell. A.T.O.M. recognizes the object, checks for collisions, plans a safe pick, and places it into the box while the workspace remains shared and observable.

Human-awareCollision checksPackaging

Workshop assistant

After the request "pass the screwdriver," A.T.O.M. localizes the tool, orients the gripper, grasps it, moves into a handoff pose, and releases it to the user. Users can train new vision models and switch between existing models at runtime.

Autonomous fruit packaging

From a single command - "pack the clementines" - the system scans randomly placed objects, sequences repeated grasps, and successfully executes a novel task over multiple minutes in an unstructured workspace.

About Auspex Automation

Building the Artificial Intelligence Harness for Robotics.

Auspex Automation is developing the AI Agent for Robotics that can understand and execute upon your intent. A.T.O.M. interprets natural language instructions, proposes structured workcell actions, and helps generate repeatable programs across robot arms and industrial machinery. The goal is practical: reduce integration effort, shorten time-to-value, and give operators tooling they can trust on the shop floor.

A.T.O.M. advances that vision by making automation more accessible to the teams closest to the work. Instead of requiring every new task to become a custom integration project, operators can define intent, constraints, and desired outcomes through an agentic interface built around perception, planning, equipment control, human review, and reusable workflows.
