The Sharework project is part of the Effective Industrial-Human Collaboration Cluster, which aims at bringing together independent EU-funded R&D projects on collaborative robotics to jointly address the technical scope areas within the context of “Transforming European Industry” and more specifically “Effective Industrial Human-Robot Collaboration” (DT-FOF-02-2018) and related topics. Via the cluster, the participating projects may expand their impact beyond the project level, while contributing to the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and developments to ensure an effective industrial flexible production that allows humans and robots to coexist and share production tasks.
The Effective Industrial-Human Collaboration Cluster’s project coordinators and dissemination managers trust that together, they will boost awareness regarding the research outcomes and promote technology transfer with relevant stakeholders, such as academia and industry, for a smooth integration of human-robot collaboration into industrial environments in an effective and safe manner.
The Effective Industrial-Human Collaboration Cluster is comprised of THOMAS, ROSSINI, HR-Recycler, COLLABORATE, SHERLOCK and Sharework.

THOMAS – Mobile dual arm robotic workers with embedded cognition for hybrid and dynamically reconfigurable manufacturing systems
The project aims to create a dynamically reconfigurable shopfloor utilizing autonomous, mobile dual arm workers. These “workers” are able to perceive their environment and, through reasoning, cooperate with each other and with other production resources, including human operators.
COLLABORATE – Co-production cell performing human-robot collaborative assembly
This project aims to equip robots with collaborative skills so that they can learn from the human and become valuable assistants for assembly operations, in an effective and safe manner.
HR-RECYCLER – Hybrid human-robot recycling plant for electrical and electronic equipment
HR-Recycler targets the development of a ‘hybrid human-robot recycling plant for electrical and electronic equipment’ operating in an indoor environment.
ROSSINI – Robot enhanced sensing, intelligence and actuation to improve job quality in manufacturing
The project aims to develop a disruptive, inherently safe hardware-software platform for the design and deployment of human-robot collaboration (HRC) applications in manufacturing.
SHERLOCK – Seamless and safe human-centered robotic applications for novel collaborative workplaces
SHERLOCK project aims to introduce the latest safe robotic technologies, including high payload collaborative arms, exoskeletons and mobile manipulators in diverse production environments, enhancing them with smart mechatronics and AI-based cognition, creating efficient HRC stations that are designed to be safe and guarantee the acceptance and wellbeing of operators.
SHAREWORK – Safe and Effective Human-Robot Cooperation Towards a Better Competitiveness on Current Automation Lack Manufacturing Processes
Sharework develops a Europe-wide smart modular solution integrated with different software and hardware modules to allow robots to physically interact with humans within a collaborative production environment without the need for physical protection barriers. The project boosts process productivity and improves the ergonomics of those workstations where it is implemented.
Project developments will be validated and tested in four industrial scenarios on the automotive, railway, capital goods and metal sectors.
