Spleenlab is a highly specialized AI software company founded with the Idea to redefine Safety and AI. Since April 2018, the company has been primarily engaged in the development and distribution of safe Machine Learning algorithms for the semi- and fully autonomous mobility, especially the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), helicopters, Air Taxis, driving vehicles and beyond. The groundbreaking fusion of different sensors, such as camera, laser and radar by means of Machine Learning is the core business of the company. The generated SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) enables completely new applications and products for any kind of autonomous mobility.

This episode unpacks how AI isn’t just about futuristic robotics but is already reshaping industries as unassuming as brooms and brushes. What makes a self-learning system adaptable in such high-stakes settings? Why does it matter that AI “never stops learning”? Join us as we uncover the unexpected depth behind automation and explore how cutting-edge AI is changing MedTech manufacturing from the ground up.

In a fascinating conversation, Dr. Christian Gilcher guides us through the differences between RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and the more advanced APA approach, which uses AI agents to dynamically manage complex processes in a compliant and efficient manner. They discuss how APA not only solves cost and capacity issues in regulated industries but also provides an innovation boost within the industry. A highlight: APA’s potential goes far beyond optimization, paving the way for entirely new industrial processes in the future.

Jan Koutnik “Czeched out” in 2009 to improve recurrent neural networks and scale evolutionary reinforcement learning as a postdoc at IDSIA. At NNAISENSE, he directed the division of the company responsible for the “learning to park” NeurIPS 2016 demo with Audi, the “learning to run” NeurIPS competition win in 2017, and the Festo Softhand in-hand manipulation demo at Hannover Messe in 2019.
We take a brief look back with Jan Koutnik at his time at NNAISENSE and the beginnings of Industrial AI. Then we switch to the present. Jan explains his Industrial AI approach, why he doesn't realize GenAI use cases and where he sees the sweet spot for himself and his new company. Spoiler: It's all about vision systems.

The EU Machinery Regulation and the topic of AI are closely linked. But other regulations also play a role. For example, machine manufacturers must also keep an eye on the AI Act. Is the regulation a breakthrough? Sascha Steinkrauß remains skeptical.

Prof. Dr. Jakub Tomczak published a sensational article on GenAI Systems a few weeks ago. We immediately realised that he had to explain it to us. His outlook: The idea of using LLMs as a backbone for Operating Systems and agents as applications has attracted a lot of attention. Here, we consider general systems with various GenAI-based components, not only LLM-based compartments. Either way, moving towards GenAI-based (operating) systems seems like the future, and the next step of cloud-based systems. Indeed, GenAISys can be deployed locally, but also in a cloud server; or as a hybrid (e.g., a GeM, a cache storage, and DEs are local but external tools and storage are in a cloud). The last option can be especially appealing for manufacturing since all real-life operations must be executed in real-time while data storage and other operations are carried out by external services (or agents).
