Descrizione del progetto
Un impulso alla collaborazione uomo-robot nella produzione
Con la robotica e l’automazione che svolgono un ruolo sempre più importante nei processi industriali e produttivi, il settore manifatturiero europeo deve adattarsi per rimanere competitivo. Le tecnologie di cooperazione uomo-robot possono rappresentare un’opportunità per il settore manifatturiero europeo. Il progetto SHAREWORK, finanziato dall’UE, contribuirà ad aggiornarlo sviluppando una tecnologia in grado di consentire una collaborazione uomo-robot sistematica ed efficace attraverso lo sviluppo di un sistema modulare capace di comprendere l’ambiente e di prevedere le azioni umane utilizzando l’intelligenza artificiale ed elaborando i dati in un ambiente in cui la sicurezza umana è garantita. La tecnologia SHAREWORK sarà dimostrata in applicazioni per l’industria ferroviaria, automobilistica, metallurgica e dei beni strumentali.
Obiettivo
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.
