Apemill

The lab behind Stackmill

Apemill is an independent R&D lab: robotics, computer vision and industrial software, from prototype to production. Stackmill came out of it.

What we do

Three fields, one method

Modern tools, industrial constraints, and software that has to survive a factory floor.

Robotics & embedded systems

Cells, controllers, motion and the embedded software that goes with them.

Industrial software

Custom software under real constraints: performance, robustness, security, and a life measured in years.

Computer vision & 3D

Detection, recognition and point clouds, 2D and 3D, for use on a line rather than in a demo.

Selected work

Projects

A few of the systems we designed and shipped.

3D part recognition

Real-time detection and matching of loose 3D parts, at high frequency and high precision.

Singularity and collision avoidance

Predicting and avoiding singularities, axis limits and collisions, with optimised trajectories.

Industrial VR

Importing, visualising and annotating industrial CAD models — whole production lines, in high fidelity.

Embedded medical device

Mechanics, electronics and software for a connected medical device used in healthcare facilities.

Automated aquaponics

A closed-loop aquaponics system recycling human waste, proposed for space stations in an ESA call.
