AI Summit Brainport 2025

Consortium member

The Netherlands

The Dutch node is located in the Brainport region in the south of the Netherlands and has 3 members. It builds upon already existing facilities and infrastructure (physical and digital).

The main location is Brainport Industries Campus (BIC) in Eindhoven and complementary facilities and set-ups can be found at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and various TNO locations.

The node is specializes in high mix, low volume, high complexity manufacturing industry and targets
technologies such as:

  • Human robot interaction
  • Production automation simulation
  • Vision technology

Ability to build on already existing facilities and infrastructure (physical and digital)

  • The main physical facility is Brainport Industries Campus (BIC), including TNO setup
  • The second facility at TU/e, focusing on building physical emulator where real-world factory floors and situations can be simulated on a smaller scale, including obstacles and production settings
  • Complementary setups at various TNO locations, including mobile setups for on-site service provisioning

Dutch Services

Human-Robot interaction

For example:

  • AI-powered robots
  • Cobots
  • Intelligent grasping & object manipulation
  • Task sharing

Factory-level optimization

For example:

  • (Semi-)Automatic Assembly
  • Logistics Management
  • Process Planning
  • Risk Management (AI Regulatory Sandbox)
  • AI Reinforcement Learning for Production Planning

Examples of AI technologies shown

  1. Human-robot interaction: cobot-assisted assembly
  2. Semi-automatically generated Work Instructions based on CAD or video/speech, projected onto assembly station, tailored to operator experience level
  3. Dual robot assembly station
