Trener

Trener Robotics develops Acteris, a software platform that serves as an intelligence layer for industrial robots, including collaborative robots (cobots). It replaces point-to-point programming with trained robot skills built on Vision-Language-Action models. The platform includes modules for job creation and execution, simulation, production monitoring, vision perception, an AI agent interface and a skill runtime. The multi-sensor contact perception module is listed as coming soon.

The company describes its customers as manufacturers running high-mix, low-volume production, where changeovers and variable conditions make rigid automation difficult. Acteris is deployed through partners and operated by shop-floor teams. The website states that it works with ABB, Universal Robots and FANUC and plans to add more robot brands. The input does not state the pricing or revenue model.

The company describes itself as headquartered in San Jose, California and Trondheim, Norway, and lists both offices on its website. Its team page names CEO and co-founder Dr. Asad Tirmizi and CTO and co-founder Dr. Lars Tingelstad. Open roles listed include Senior AI Compute Engineer, Robotics Integration Engineer (Field-Focused), Vision Systems Engineer and Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. Awards listed on the site include the Advanced Factories Award 2026 and the ABB Startup Challenge 2024.

Product: Acteris, a vendor-agnostic software platform that deploys, runs and monitors trained robot skills on industrial robots and cobots across workcells.
