Comment:

Three industrial use cases have been addressed, corresponding to the Energy, Aerospace and Naval sectors.

On each use case, several robot manufacturing operation opportunities have been identified, with a large variety of applications that ensures industrial demonstrators on-site at the facilities of each one of the involved end-users.

The following operations have been addressed in the project:

  • Energy Sector: rack base weld grinding, nozzle non-destructive inspection, tube deburring
  • Aerospeace Sector: Jet engine part finishing, aircraft and T-profile machining 
  • Naval: Mould master model manufacturing

 

Each one of these insdustrial scenarios requires of different operational functionalities provided by each one of the CORO-modules. In the first two of them, the COROMA module must be able to localice and idetify the workpiece, generate the required trajectories for machining or inspection, execute the operations on it, avoiding collisions with objects and operators, and improving the overall performance by learning techinques. The Naval Sector applications sets the bar one step higher, as robot mobility along the workshops must be added in order to find a workpiece bigger than the robotic system itself.

Comment:

The ROSSINI project foresees 3 use-cases related to Domestic Appliances Assembly (WHIRLPOOL), Electronic Components Production (SCHINDLER) and Food Products Packaging (IMA). The 1st use case aims at implementing real and efficient HRC which will allow to enhance human health and satisfaction in workplaces combining automation and the lean manufacturing concept thus reducing costs and avoiding dangerous operations for workers (requirement: improving safety in HRC and maintain the efficiency of the production line). The 2nd use case wants to redesign the actual production line  where individually separate but related items are grouped (the kitting step), packaged (the assembly step) and supplied together as one unit (requirement: strict collaboration between human operators and robot). The 3rd use case will leverage on a mobile robotic solution and an advanced smart sensing system to improve its current robotic solution for assisting operator in machine monitoring and maintenance (requirement: improve system performance in terms of speeds, handled objects and capabilities, whilst maintain operator safety)
