The European Sharework project led by the Eurecat technology centre has tested a new smart system for safe and ergonomic collaboration between robots and workers in industry with a view to enhancing the working conditions of operators.
Human workers involved in manufacturing use-cases know which tasks they must execute and in which order, such that they can achieve their goals, e.g. assembly a group. The description of the tasks and their ordering can be presented, for example, in a construction manual. This manual contains information about the steps that must be carried…
Over the past five months, the integration of the Goizper mock-up has been taking place at STAM laboratory in Genova, Italy. The mock-up has the main objective of being a prototype of the final demonstrator for the assembly of rotary tables before its installation in the industrial environment at Goizper factory floor in the Basque Country, Spain. At STAM laboratory a…
Most of the rotary tables produced by Goizper S. Coop., a cooperative located in the Basque Country (Spain), are used in welding applications in the automotive industry. This product requires an accurate assembly and specific manipulation. In addition, the variety of sizes that goes through the assembly shopfloor makes difficult the automatization of the product assembly.…
Following the need to develop robots capable of interacting naturally and safely with humans without the need of barriers, the Sharework project has developed a flexible software comprised with 14 technology modules to provide robots with the necessary intelligence to work in cooperation with human operators. Sharework collaborative robotics system is capable of understanding the environment and human actions…
