Deadline: 21 March 2025
The Cooperative Robotics Powered by AI and DATA for Flexible Production Cells (COROB) aims to develop a flexible, cooperative and intelligent multi-robotic solution for arc welding-based manufacturing processes (joining and additive manufacturing), to offer new operational capabilities that allow to increase the efficiency and improve the flexibility of industrial processes.
COROB, conceived as a global solution, will employ a cooperative multi-robot system powered by Inspection, Monitoring, Control and AI techniques to optimize the welding process, and the adjacent manufacturing stages for time, cost, energy, and resource reduction.
The data generated will be processed in a data acquisition platform to feed the AI technologies, addressing optimisation, search, planning, and analysis, ensuring AI robustness and trustworthiness.
