Descripción del proyecto
Impulso a la colaboración entre personas y robots en la fabricación
La robótica y la automatización desempeñan un papel cada vez más importante en los procesos industriales y de fabricación, por lo que la industria manufacturera europea debe adaptarse para seguir siendo competitiva. Las tecnologías de cooperación entre personas y robots pueden representar una oportunidad para la industria manufacturera europea. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos SHAREWORK contribuirá a poner al día la industria manufacturera europea. Para ello, desarrollará una tecnología que favorece una colaboración sistemática y eficaz entre personas y robots mediante la creación de un sistema modular capaz de comprender el entorno y predecir las acciones de las personas mediante el uso de la inteligencia artificial y el procesamiento de datos en un entorno donde la seguridad de las personas esté garantizada. La tecnología de SHAREWORK se demostrará en aplicaciones para las industrias ferroviaria, automovilística, metalúrgica y de bienes de equipo.
Objetivo
SHAREWORK‘s main objective is to endow an industrial work environment of the necessary “intelligence” and methods for the effective adoption of Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) with not fences, providing a system capable of understanding the environment and human actions through knowledge and sensors, future state predictions and with the ability to make a robot act accordingly while human safety is guaranteed and the human-related barriers are overcome. SHAREWORK will develop the needed technology for facing the new production paradigm compiling the necessary developments in a set of modular hardware, software and procedures to face different HRC applications in a systematic and effective way.
A knowledge base (KB) to include system “know-how” data as well as real-time environment information is developed. An environment run-time perception and cognition updates this KB with object detection, human tracking and task identification. A human-aware dynamic task planning system will react based on previous knowledge and environment status by reassigning tasks and/or reconfiguring robot control. This data will allow robot intelligent motion planners to control robots while safety is ensured by a continuous ergonomics and risk assessment module to face a safety-productivity trade-off. A multimodal human-robot communication system will provide interfaces for bidirectional communication between operator and robot. Finally, methods for overcoming human-related barriers and data reliability and security concerning the entire framework are applied for a successful integration in the industry.
SHAREWORK technology will be demonstrated in four different industrial cases: for railway, automotive, mechanical machining and equipment goods sectors. The usability of the developed HRC solutions in different industrial sectors and company sizes will increase productivity, flexibility, and reduce human stress, to support the workers and to strengthen European industry.
