Collaborative Robots for Impact-based Manipulation

Objective

The CORIM project aims to introduce a technology that has the potential to significantly expand the application area of collaborative robots (cobots) in the manufacturing sector. Today's collaborative robots have limited ability to handle tasks that require rapid contact transitions with stiff environments, since the force peaks emerging from the contact transition endanger key elements such as gears and force sensors in the collaborative robots. Based on findings of the ERC project NatDyReL, we will develop a solution for these applications, which is based on two main components: a method for analysis and planning fast contact transitions, and an end effector for contact tasks. In connection with the motion planning, which takes the impact models and the inertial couplings into account, this end-effector allows to protect the robot wrist from the impulsive contact forces. Building on this core idea, CORIM enable a conventional collaborative robot to perform physically demanding harsh applications such as hammering, denting, and punching. The CORIM concept will allow to significantly broaden the application area of cobots in the manufacturing industry. In addition to the technical feasibility study, we will perform a business feasibility study as a preparation of further commercialization steps.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Host institution

TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET WIEN
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
