SMARTHANDLE Architecture: Integrating Innovation for Enhanced Production Efficiency
In recent years, the research community has dedicated significant effort to improving and developing technologies that play a vital role in advancing the next generation industrial robotic applications.
DISASSEMBLY OF EV BATTERIES: A CHALLENGE
SMARTHANDLE will improve environmental aspects targeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically by activities focused on battery recycling, supporting circular economy and the European Green Deal objectives.
Human perception for collaborative robotic environments in SMARTHANDLE project
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is a growing topic of interest. Rather than replacing humans, collaboration enables both humans and robots to work together. This eliminates the need for robots to be kept separate from the workforce for safety concerns.
Enhancing AI-Driven Motion Planning in Dual-Arm Robotic Manipulation
The industrial landscape continuously evolves by prioritizing reconfigurability towards addressing the ever-increasing market demands for personalized products. Robotics can emerge as a pivotal enabler through the embodiment of intelligent resources ready to produce new products in a repeatable and efficient manner.
Revolutionizing Industrial Handling Operations: KUKA's Innovations in the SMARTHANDLE Project
Within the project SMARTHANDLE KUKA is working on enhancement of the productivity, flexibility, and sustainability of the handling operations together with research and industrial institutions from Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, and Belgium.
Grasping the Future: Revolutionizing Industrial Manipulation with SMARTHANDLE's AI-Powered Strategies
In the contemporary industrial landscape, it is imperative to transform current production lines, both manual and automated, into highly efficient and versatile lines. However, pursuing "producing more and diverse with less" underscores the evolution toward this goal. In addition, this pursuit is accompanied by a series of challenges that need to be considered. For instance, the proliferation of product variants challenges the development of reconfigurable and flexible handling tools and strategies, capable of seamlessly accommodating a wide array of product types.
