FIXIT make innovation happen
He embodies the essence of innovation, as we experience.
FIXIT is a human-robot platform and represents the digital competencies at the CIM4.0. CIM4.0’s Industrial, Academic and Commercial Partners as well as University students envision FIXIT as a solution to expand knowledge and apply new technologies.
He is a collaborative robot based on an AMR and a Drone powered by AI, Cybersecurity, Additive Manufacturing, Edge and Cloud technologies as well as other Industry 4.0 enabling technologies.
He will support people on different application areas: industry, education, healthcare, horeca, mobility.
Our vision is to transform technology ecosystems to enhance the value of people.
Core technologies
Ground Vehicle
Scout Mini is a compact UGV with four-wheel drive and differential steering, and equipped with independent suspension. The algorithms for autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance were developed by a multidisciplinary team of students who collaborated through their master thesis.
Mission Control
Fixit will be equipped with a tablet that serves as the main digital interface of the robot. Its dedicated software will feature mission control, maps, analytics, and more, allowing total control and customization of the device.
Aerial Vehicle
The UAV is ever-changing and continuously improving thanks to the work of master thesis students. The model that we display here was designed to be printed in-house through our Additive Manufacturing pilot line.

What you say
“I chose to apply for an innovation thesis at CIM4.0 because I saw it as an opportunity for growth as a student and a great chance to be able to practically apply what I learned theoretically in master’s school, of the world of automation and robotics.
In addition, I was impressed to be able to do a thesis in a topic that was just starting out in the world of research and that I could take advantage of in a future job. Finally, a working reality would definitely have been more educational than a university reality.”
Roberto
I will preface this by saying that I was initially unfamiliar with CIM4.0; the thesis was proposed to me by my thesis advisor.
The project itself, I was interested in because drones have always
fascinated me, but I never had a chance to devote time and energy to it.
However, CIM and Orlando came along promising thesis students a leading role in the development of the project, and this was particularly pleasing to me, as I believed (and believe) that it would allow me to grow in multiple aspects, not just technical ones.
Christian
A passion toward Automation and Robotics prompted me to get involved in an innovation project at CIM4.0. The opportunity to relate to emerging technologies in industry was an additional motivation to immerse myself in the Competence Center environment.
Alexander
I chose to do my thesis on the Fixit project because I am passionate about technology and the digital world. So I saw the opportunity to work and learn at CIM4.0 working in the field of industry 4.0 and thus complement my mechanical engineering background with new technologies through additive manufacturing.
