Description du projet
Un coup de pouce à la collaboration homme-robot dans le secteur manufacturier
La robotique et l’automatisation jouent un rôle de plus en plus prépondérant dans les procédés industriels et manufacturiers, ce qui contraint le secteur manufacturier européen à s’adapter pour rester compétitif. Les technologies de coopération homme-robot peuvent représenter une occasion de développement pour le secteur manufacturier européen. Le projet SHAREWORK, financé par l’UE, contribuera à moderniser le secteur manufacturier européen. Il développera une technologie en mesure d’assurer une collaboration homme-robot systémique et efficace grâce à la mise en place d’un système modulaire capable de comprendre l’environnement et d’anticiper les actions de l’homme en ayant recours à l’intelligence artificielle et en traitant les données dans un environnement qui garantit la sécurité de l’opérateur humain. La technologie SHAREWORK fera l’objet de démonstrations dans des applications destinées aux secteurs ferroviaire, automobile, métallurgique et des biens d’équipement.
Objectif
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.
