AI Robotics and Experiences Lab

Capgemini’s AI Robotics and Experiences Lab is one of Capgemini’s three global emerging technology labs. In this lab, our network of internal experts in the fields of physical AI, digital twins & humans and spatial computing from across the world are exploring — alongside an ecosystem of key partners — how the convergence of the physical and digital worlds can bring value to businesses. Capgemini’s objective is to research and apply these innovative and applicable AI robotics solutions across industries for immediate business transformation while minimizing operational disruption.

Traditional robotics focuses on specific use cases and individual tasks while AI robotics and humanoids can perform more complex tasks and adapt to increasingly diverse environments that are designed for humans by humans. More importantly, new technologies like reinforcement learning and vision language model help to train and retrain robots like humanoids faster and more naturally – opening up to more operational efficiency, quick adaptability and integration into existing human workflows and dynamic environments.

Capgemini’s AI Robotics and Experiences lab addresses the now, new and next through its thought leadership and research across multiple areas including AI robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, autonomous systems, computer vision & sensors, human-robot interaction and spatial vision. We prioritize use cases that enhance human experiences, drive operational advancements and have the potential to transform industries and create significant value for organizations today. Working alongside our clients and partners, we are building assets and in-context prototypes that validate our research and concepts.

Recent technological breakthroughs, decreasing production costs and the availability of both hardware and software are making the mass production and adoption of humanoid robots a reality. We are currently exploring their applications today for future implementation at scale across industries. Within the next 5 years, we believe AI Robotics will support operations in manufacturing, warehouses, logistics, and retail, mostly addressing dangerous and mundane tasks. Capgemini’s AI Robotics and Experiences Lab focuses on industries where the convergence of human-centered digital-physical interactions, when applied, can unlock productivity gains with minimal operational disruption like automotive, aerospace and defense, energy & utilities, manufacturing, healthcare and life sciences, and retail & consumer products.

The global workforce is moving away from undesirable, dangerous, labor-intensive or repetitive tasks.  Integrating agentic AI, AI robotics, physical AI, digital twins, and humanized interfaces in industrial operations offers numerous benefits, including increased operational efficiency and productivity, enhanced worker’s safety and reduced risk of human error, address labor shortage, real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, improved maintenance and asset management, supply chain resilience, and better customer and employee experience and engagement.

Deploying AI robotics technology requires a vision and a strategic approach. From evaluating your business’ needs to defining applicable and value-creating use cases to comprehensive training programs for employees specifically focusing on the human-robot collaboration, Capgemini’s AI Robotics and Experiences Lab can take you from strategic vision to high ROI pilot projects.
