Automotive Industrial Scenario SEAT, S.A.

Within Sharework project, the transportation of pieces to the paint shop and within it will be redesigned and automatised with the integration of a high payload robot that will carry, position and hold the car pieces while the operator carries the assembly and disassembly tasks needed before and after the painting process.

The main challenges to be solved in Sharework scenario will be to ensure a safe human-robot collaboration and integrate numerous sensors in the environment to provide the robot with the necessary knowledge to be able to detect workers and obstacles, as well as to adjust the trajectory accordingly. Operators would be able to interact with the robot through the Human-Robot interfaces developed in the project, using a tablet to indicate the robot which parts to be mounted and a hand-guiding mechanism that will let them manually guide the robot.

Through the Sharework project, SEAT S.A., a major automotive manufacturer, in collaboration by LMS as technology coach, will ensure a successful integration of Sharework modules and technologies into the paint shop.
