Objective The CableBOT project deals with a novel methodology for designing, developing and evaluating cable robots customised for the automation in large-scale auxiliary processes. Parallel cable robots extend the payloads and workspace of conventional industrial robots by more than two orders of magnitude.The main objective is to develop a new generation of modular and reconfigurable robots able to perform many different steps in the post-production of large-scale structures. Three key technologies will be developed:a) Design of Cable Robot: Software tools to design the layout and geometry of cable robots,b) Industrial Process Planning: Simulation of cable robots to verify the operation of cable robots in environments with large-scale structuresc) Control Algorithms and Systems: Distributed control and kinematic transformation to operate modular cable robots.Two application examples are targeted in close cooperation to industry: aeronautical applications of maintenance and the handling of construction beams. In both cases existing automation can hardly be used due to manoeuvrability of heavy and big parts and the risk associated. The results are feasible for many other fields including large-workspace movements of products, with impact in logistics, transport, and warehousing.The exploitation and commercialization of CableBOT are driven by VICINAY CEMVISA, the application of industrial scenarios, two end-users of different sectors - EADS and ACCIONA - will automate their currently manual post-production. TECNALIA provides the technology for simulation in terms of productivity, cost, safety and robustness, whereas the design of the robots is in charge of LIRMM and INRIA. IPA and UDE are in charge of the control algorithms, on distributed and force control of redundant systems.Benefits include an increase of production efficiency, a wider range of products, light and reconfigurable structure mechanisms and adaptable and more flexible operator assistance systems Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresocial sciencessociologyindustrial relationsautomationsocial scienceseconomics and businesseconomicsproduction economicsproductivitynatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicsgeometryengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringrobotics Programme(s) FP7-NMP - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies Topic(s) FoF.NMP.2011-3 - Robots for automation of post-production and other auxiliary processes Call for proposal FP7-2011-NMP-ICT-FoF See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator FUNDACION TECNALIA RESEARCH & INNOVATION Address Parque cientifico y tecnologico de gipuzkoa, paseo mikeletegi 2 20009 Donostia-san sebastian (gipuzkoa) Spain See on map Region Noreste País Vasco Gipuzkoa Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Mariola Rodriguez (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS France EU contribution € 434 100,00 Address Rue michel ange 3 75794 Paris See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jocelyn Mere (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data FRAUNHOFER GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FORDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG EV Germany EU contribution € 520 444,00 Address Hansastrasse 27c 80686 Munchen See on map Region Bayern Oberbayern München, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Walter Krause (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITAET DUISBURG-ESSEN Germany EU contribution € 276 731,00 Address Universitatsstrasse 2 45141 Essen See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf Essen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Sandra Kramm (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET AUTOMATIQUE France EU contribution € 479 332,00 Address Domaine de voluceau rocquencourt 78153 Le chesnay cedex See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Yvelines Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Frédérique Lavirotte (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data AIRBUS GROUP SAS France EU contribution € 205 274,00 Address 2 rond-point emile dewoitine 31700 Blagnac See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Julie Fosse (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data ACCIONA CONSTRUCCION SA Spain EU contribution € 356 600,00 Address Calle mesena 80 28033 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Miguel Angel Paris Torres (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Other funding No data CEMVI CATENA ELEVACION MANUTENCION VICINAY SA Spain EU contribution € 156 958,00 Address Calle carniceria 48210 Otxandio See on map Region Noreste País Vasco Bizkaia Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Héctor Barahona (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
