02 // Problem

Sewing is still done by human hands

Soft materials that change shape are hard for conventional robots to handle.

MATERIAL

Unstructured soft materials

Fabric stretches, folds and slips. Following fixed coordinates cannot deliver consistent quality.

LABOR

Rising labor costs and lost expertise

Labor costs at Southeast Asian production bases rise every year, and skilled workers' know-how is never captured as data.

CAPEX

Cost of replacing equipment

A new automated line means replacing the factory's equipment wholesale. MOTUS mounts onto existing sewing machines.

03 // Vision

It starts with people, and robots take over

Skilled workers' techniques are collected as data and learned, then a robot continues the work on the same sewing machine.

STEP 1Learning the skills of expert workers
04 // Field

Skilled hands become data

From straight and curved to box and 3D curved seams, we record expert motion on site, process by process.
