Demo Day 2026 · UR5e + vacuum · LLM-composed motion

RoboPick

Speak.See.Pick.

Industrial robots still need a programmer for every new task. RoboPick takes a sentence instead. An LLM composes the motion from a validated vocabulary of atomic actions; the runtime owns geometry, depth and safety.

The problem

Industrial robots are programmer-only. Every new task means URScript, teach-pendant choreography or a new hand-coded macro.

RoboPick

One sentence in. One real-world action out. The LLM composes the motion; the runtime owns geometry and safety.

Built around the UR5e

RoboPick is built around the UR5e + vacuum — the cell we develop on and present at Demo Day. Because the LLM never speaks in coordinates, the same control pipeline runs unchanged on the lab's other Universal Robots arms; only the end-effector executor swaps. No extra work — they just run.

02 / How it works

A sentence becomes motion in seven stages.

The cardinal rule
The LLM never produces coordinates. It names objects and intentions; the runtime resolves geometry and drives motors.
04 / Demo

The robot, doing what we said.

05 / Team

Five students. And our very eager UR5e robot.
