Project description
Pioneering full-stack system for quickly and affordably deploying industrial robotics and automation
To increase quality, flexibility, throughput and safety, industrial automation companies use robotics and Internet of Things technologies to control and monitor machinery and manufacturing processes. However, designing and integrating new manufacturing automation systems is both time-consuming and expensive. UK-based krtkl developed a configurable, reprogrammable, cost-efficient, palm-sized device, called snickerdoodle, that reduces the time, effort and cost to install and maintain industrial robots by enabling faster and more flexible programming and deployment. To demonstrate the innovation’s viability and commercialisation potential, the EU-funded snickerdoodle project will evaluate technical and economic feasibility, create a go-to-market strategy and establish a manufacturing supply chain.
Objective
Industrial automation is a global trend of today’s industrial landscapes, aiming at increasing quality, flexibility and safety in
manufacturing lines by using robotics and IoT technologies to control machinery and manufacturing processes. Setting up
manufacturing automation lines is currently a time-consuming and costly process, since it requires to build up complex
hardware-software platforms by assembling many different expensive components (e.g. processing units, wireless modules,
GPIO, FPGA, etc.). In addition, platform customization for specific use-cases implies some – or all – of these components to
be changed, in order to meet the desired requirements (e.g. performance, power, interface, etc.). Krtkl has developed
Snickerdoodle, the first full-stack development board for robotic systems that combines functionality, usability and
affordability in just one palm-sized device. Snickerdoodle is conceived for high-performance robotics applications, and it can
be quickly and easily configured and re-programmed via a companion smartphone application (iOS & Android).
Snickerdoodle minimizes the time, effort and cost needed for setting up and maintaining industrial robots. Moreover, it can
be used to create local computing networks to use alongside the cloud network, such as edge computing systems. During the
Phase 1 feasibility assessment, a go-to-market strategy and a supply chain will be established, as well as further
development plan will be drafted.
