A Little More About 3GEN Robotics

BELLWETHER 3GEN Robotics

Plan your automation project yourself.

Bellwether helps you design a workflow that combines robots, AI software and people, watch it run in simulation, and leave with a plan that's ready to build.

Where most projects stall

You have a process you think robots and AI could take on. Then the questions pile up: where to start, how the work would get done, and which robots, grippers, cameras and AI models you'd need. Bellwether works through those questions with you, one step at a time.

HOW IT WORKS
01

Tell us the process

Talk or type. Upload videos of people doing the job, training manuals, machine specs, safety documents and any simulations you have. Bellwether asks about what you left out, like site power, Wi-Fi and lighting.

02

Review your workflow

Bellwether maps every task, whether a person, AI software or a robot does it, and lists what each one needs. If someone already built a similar task, you can pull it in instead of starting over.

03

Watch it run

Bellwether simulates each robot task, with real physics-based objects and environments. Click a task to see its simulation, or watch a video of the whole workflow.

04

Take the plan with you

You get every step, every component and any gaps still to solve. Show it to leadership for funding, hand it to an integrator, or send it to a robot or tooling maker.

When a part doesn't exist yet

Bellwether marks it as an engineering gap and suggests a way around it: a part from another automation, a local integrator, or 3GEN's professional services.

THE MARKETPLACE

Start from automations that already exist.

Browse what others have built in many categories, like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, etc. This allows users to reuse a whole workflow or a single task, the way developers reuse code on GitHub or models on Hugging Face. While you build, Bellwether suggests equipment that would be useful and keeps looking for new simulations that fit into your workflow. Bellwether Forums connect you with peers who have automated similar work, or connect you with friends.

WHO BELLWETHER WORKS FOR
Companies with a process to automate

Plan it yourself, learn what's already on the market, how involved your process is, and what it might cost before you commit.

Integrators

Use Bellwether on a client's behalf, or get a head start on a project through Bellwether's Marketplace.

Robot and component makers

Bellwether recommends your hardware at the step where a user needs it, and users can buy it through Bellwether.
