Génération Robots, Intuitive Robots and Avatarion create HERA
HERA: 20 years of combined expertise in humanoid robots programming
Human Empowering Robots Alliance (HERA) was founded end of 2019 by Avatarion, Intuitive Robots and Génération Robots. Through this strategic collaboration, the three pioneers in humanoid robot programming in Europe, have decided to join their broad skills, experiences and expertise to become a leader in Europe. This partnership has been announced the 1st of October, during the Business Innovation Week, a digital and robotics event held in Zurich, Switzerland.
More than a simple distribution channel for robots, a complementary business ecosystem
SKILLS, EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING
With more than 20 years of combined experience, both in hardware distribution and applications design, the three key players are now offering a unique robots distribution channel, with the best software solutions on the market. Engineer, business and marketing teams work together to provide social robots with embedded software solutions and applications perfectly tailored to customers’ needs. These robots will ensure maximum ROI and will improve customer experience in physical places.
A CORE SOFTWARE SOLUTION WITH A CATALOG OF APPLICATIONS
The robots are available with an embedded software solution, called SPARK. Created by Intuitive Robots, SPARK is the first solution that integrates the most performing conversational agents (Chatbots) and the best knowledge technologies into any social robots, providing a rich, smart and useful interaction with robots.
Today, many companies use chatbots in their customer relationship strategy. SPARK allows to integrate and adapt these chatbots, giving the robot all the power and intelligence from the conversational agents (natural language understanding, machine learning…). In addition, SPARK already allows to connect robots to the IoT world (identification, payment…) and third-party services. The features of the robot combined with those of the chatbot provide amazing interactions with end-users, while enabling companies to enrich their omnichannel strategy.
HERA also proposes a complete range of applications, organized by industries and use-cases, in order to better meet market expectations.
A STRONG DISTRIBUTION NETWORK IN EUROPE
HERA already has a strong sales force covering French, German and Swiss markets. With customers from 100 countries, Génération Robots offers a promising outlook in Europe as well as globally. On the Swiss side, Avatarion has a strong distribution network with a recognized expertise in applications design in banking, hospitality and education areas.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS?
Companies can finally access a global service robotics offer, including robots equipped with the best software solutions on the market and rely on a range of services provided by robotics experts, all available via a single channel in Europe.
