Interested in learning more about what Univrses does?
Research and development in computer vision and machine learning is rapidly evolving. In this newsroom, you can read about Univrses’ activities and contribution to research, as well as the latest news from the industry.
Photogrammetry is one of the many areas where our computer vision technologies can be applied. This is the science of producing reliable information about an object using photographs. We have leveraged components from Univrses’ 3DAI™ Engine to deliver photogrammetry solutions in a variety of applications. These include tools to measure the size of goods on a conveyor belt and, more recently, a smartphone application for measuring wear on mechanical components in machinery. Automating these inspection tasks using computer vision means component life can be monitored more accurately - resulting in fewer failures and less downtime.

So-called Last Mile Delivery (LMD) robots are currently being developed by companies around the world. Soon they will be an integral part of the urban landscape. These delivery systems need state-of-the-art 3D perception technologies to function properly, and Univrses 3DAI™ Engine is a direct answer to this need.

Greetings from several of our new micro offices in Stockholm! Although we are currently working from home due to the coronavirus situation, we work as hard as ever before. Visit our website to learn more about what we do (link in bio). Stay safe and #stayathome,
Team Univrses
In light of the current situation, Univrses took the decision last Thursday to close the office in Stockholm for the next few weeks. All employees have been asked to work from home to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Our thoughts and best wishes are with those who have suffered and with those who are on the front line in the fight against this pandemic. Take care, look after yourselves and stay safe ❤️
Last week, Univrses' inaugural Hackathon took place at our office in Stockholm. The team split into several imaginary startups with each group developing a proof of concept "product" for the robotic market. Marks were awarded for creativity and flair as well as solid engineering and business sense. 6 teams, 6 robots, 6 hours of coding but only 1 winner.
Congratulations to team LazyRobots (Jules Flabeau, Alessandro Pieropan, Amit Dekel, Magnus Selin and Antonio Matosevic) who won with their innovative delivery robot!
Big news! We are happy to announce that a paper written by Amit Dekel, Linus Härenstam-Nielsen and Sergio Caccamo from the Univrses research team has been accepted to #CVPR2020! Their work presents a novel optimal solution to the hand-eye calibration problem.

Happy Fat Tuesday (Fettisdagen)! Today, around 2/3 of the Swedish population will stuff their bellys with the classic Swedish pastry Semla. Why? Because it’s tradition!
At Univrses, we gladly honor The Fat Tuesday at the office in Stockholm every year.
The future came to visit our office this week. Machine Learning students from @kthuniversity in Stockholm got to meet several of Univrses' engineers and scientists. We presented our history and the current focus of our research. The response was overwhelmingly positive - we hope to see more of these students in the future.
Thanks for visiting!
We visited last year’s Move Conference and were literally stunned by the levels of energy and drive that we encountered. This is clearly paying off. Visiting Move2020, it was amazing to see so much progress within mobility research and development in only a year.
Now we’re heading into an exciting future where collaboration and data will be two major keys to success. We are very excited about Univrses’ position in this mobility ecosystem.
Mobility innovation will address many of the challenges that awaits future societies. We are glad that we continuously contribute to this work and proud that we now get to visit the most important mobility event in the world. Univrses is among 250 startups that has been invited to Move Conference 2020 in London. An event where distributors and stakeholders across all modes and disciplines meet to discuss how to solve the most urgent challenges of tomorrow.
Are you visiting Move 2020? Come to S201 and say hello!
Heads up! Every two months, Univrses arranges an activity for all employees. On Thursday, the team went to play a fun and exciting game of Laserdome. Who won? It depends on who you ask.
Thanks to Laserdome Stockholm for a great night!
Drive Sweden Forum 2020 was a great success and we are glad that we took part in it. After many great conversations, we now leave the forum, the Swedish west coast and Chalmers Conference Center feeling extremely optimistic about the future of mobility development in Sweden.
Thanks again to Drive Sweden for arranging!
Drive Sweden is an important collaborative force within Swedish mobility development. We love mobility and we are glad to once again take part in the annual Drive Sweden Forum in Lindholmen, Gothenburg. Today, Univrses’ engineer Pier Luigi Dovesi participates in workshops about viable business models and policy-related challenges.
For those of you who are curious to know more about what we do, Univrses will have a stand at the main Drive Sweden Forum tomorrow. Are you going? Come by and say hello!
Tomorrow, our CEO Jonathan Selbie will participate in a panel session at this year’s Nordic Growth conference at @munchenbryggeriet in Stockholm. The discussion will be about AI and Machine Learning and its impact on people’s everyday life, and it will be led by Chris Pfaff. Apart from Jonathan and Univrses, representatives from @gazzine_ , @vionlabs AB and @storykit.io will participate. We’re looking forward to an interesting chat!
Thanks to our friends at Arctic15 for arranging!
There are still tickets left - Go to https://arctic15.com to secure yours, and we’ll see you tomorrow!
Spotlight on Belén! Online Magazine Computer Vision News (by RSIPvision) has a section called Women in Computer Vision. In the latest edition, this section is dedicated to Univrses' very own Computer Vision and Deep Learning engineer Belén Luque Lopez.
During the interview, Belén talks about her way into the field of Computer Vision, her work at Univrses and a lot more. Link to full article in bio
We keep attending events on modern technology in some of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in Stockholm. Today, Computer Vision Scientist Miquel Marti went to Grillska Huset in Old Town to represent Univrses at a meetup about AI in connected, automated and shared mobility. This great event was arranged by our friends at Drive Sweden and @aiinnovationofsweden
Yesterday, we got to visit the great Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset) in great company and for an equally great purpose. Univrses was among the invited guests to the official launch of AI Innovation of Sweden Greater Stockholm Node. An important initiative about mobilizing and collaborating within AI research and innovation in Sweden.
Congratulations to our good friend Petra Dalunde for taking on the leadership of Stockholm Node, and thanks to the rest of @aiinnovationofsweden for a great event and for building bridges within Swedish AI. We are looking forward to many future collaborations!
Last week, Univrses' Head of Products Alessandro Pieropan participated in a Smart City meetup arranged by our friends at @urbanictarena . Alessandro got to present our new Vinnova funded consortium on stage, and we are grateful for the good feedback that we got!
Thanks to Urban ICT Arena for arranging. We are glad to start tech year 2020 together with you!
Announcement! Univrses’ research ”Real-Time Semantic Stereo Matching” has been accepted at ICRA (International Conference on Robotics and Automation) 2020 in Paris. The work will be presented at the conference by our Deep Learning Engineer Pier Luigi Dovesi, who has also led this research from the start. Needless to say, this is a great acknowledgement and an excellent way for us to show the world what we’re up to!
The technology enables both spatial and contextual understanding for mobile robots which makes it possible for them to navigate autonomously in an unknown environment.
See you in Paris!
It’s neither the first or the last time that will thank our friends at @mobilityxlab for building bridges within Swedish tech. Yesterday, we travelled to Gothenburg to visit yet another Tech Day. A great event where startups meet and discuss how to solve the challenges of tomorrow. Thanks for arranging!
