Imitation Machines
Imitation Machines is an Australian deep-tech company building a machine learning platform that lets robots learn new tasks by human demonstration, instead of being painstakingly programmed. Using our robot-agnostic, no-code system, operators demonstrate a task and the robot then performs it autonomously, adapting to real-world variation. This radically cuts deployment time and cost, turning existing industrial arms, mobile robots and quadrupeds into flexible, re-trainable workers. We partner with robot system integrators and industry to unlock automation in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, mining and more. Our goal is to democratise robotics and make advanced automation accessible to every enterprise.
