GIM Robotics

GIM Robotics’ full stack automation software for mobile machinery is working in all weather conditions. It enables shared and full autonomy operations and makes the machines more intelligent, precise and efficient. GIM stands for Generic Intelligent Machines. Our competence covers e.g. sensor fusion, real time 3D localization and mapping, traversability analysis, computer vision systems and dynamic object tracking. GIM’s universal 3D mapping and localization solutions are not fixed to any particular environment or sensor technology and have been used for example in mining, construction, agriculture, forestry and marine applications. Our sister company Sensible 4 was founded in 2017 especially for the automotive applications. Proprietary solutions are based on natural infrastructure and no additional infrastructure (e.g. lanes, reflectors or beacons) is needed. We maintain a set of tools that can be utilized to tailor customer specific needs. GIM provides a variety of robotic platforms for prototyping and proof-of-concept development. For example, our logistics platform Speedster, has been tested in retail stores and industrial logistics. Robots accelerate the research and development by enabling completely autonomous data gathering. Autonomous machine operation can be tested in GIM’s precision measured test area in Espoo. The company is based on decades of science. The four founders, including Prof. Aarne Halme, were the key persons from the Automation Technology Laboratory at Helsinki University of Technology (nowadays Aalto) and had more than 100 years of combined experience on field and service robotics research including Academy of Finland’s Centre of Excellence in Generic Intelligent Machines in 2008-2013 together with IHA/TUT. GIM Robotics has been recruiting the best brains in the industry. We have a team of 40+ people with some of the top robotics experts from Finland and beyond.
