Robot and AI Meet Ultrasonic

About this episode

This episode explores the collaboration behind an AI-powered solution for non-destructive material testing in automotive robotics.

In this episode, we dive deep into the collaborative journey behind our AI-powered solution for non-destructive material testing in automotive robotics. Joined by Christian Wagner from Vogt Ultrasonics and Jan Koutnik from Evoptima , we explore how a mountain of ultrasonic data and a drive for better quality sparked a new approach to spot weld inspection. We discuss the technical hurdles, the evolution of our software, and the real-world impact AI is having on precision and efficiency in car manufacturing. You’ll hear firsthand how industry partnerships, robust models, and a willingness to innovate are shaping the future of automated quality control. If you’ve ever wondered how AI and robotics combine to improve the cars we drive, this episode is for you.
