ABOUT US

Founded in 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland, AICA emerged from the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA) at EPFL. Today, we are proudly based at the Unlimitrust Campus by SICPA, continuing to build on our deep roots in robotics research and innovation.

At AICA, we’re transforming the way industrial robots are programmed and deployed. Traditional robotics programming is often complex, time-consuming, and costly—frequently doubling the price of the hardware itself. Our solution changes that.

The AICA System combines advanced AI algorithms with real-time, sensor-driven, adaptive robot control, simplifying the integration and programming of robotic systems. By streamlining these processes, we make industrial automation faster, more flexible, and significantly more affordable.

Our technology is already powering projects across industries. From precision polishing and automated screwing to EV battery disassembly and bi-manual handling, AICA's solutions are trusted by global leaders like German manufacturer Schaeffler.

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of intelligent automation—enabling manufacturers to adapt quickly, solve real-world challenges, and thrive in an increasingly dynamic production environment.
