User-centric solutions for a flexible and modular manufactoring in small and medium-sized shipyard
User-centric solutions for a flexible and modular manufactoring in small and medium-sized shipyard
About
Mari4_YARD is an EU funded project that leverages the potential of Internet of Things (IoT), mobile and ubiquitous ICT tools, and robotics to develop user-centric solutions for flexible and modular manufactoring and thus implement a novel connectes shipyard. The projects has started in December 2020 and will last until 2024.
Vision
Mari4_YARD aims to implement a portfolio of worker-centric solutions, by relying on novel collaborative robotics and abiquitous portable solutions, enabling modular, flexible, reconfigurable and usable solutions targeting the execution of key labor-intensive tasks by preserving industry-specific workers’ knowledge, skills and biomechanics health status. It adopts a twofold strategy: technology-driven and barrier-driven.
Objectives

Intuitive human-robot collaborative solutions in shared workspaces

Handheld and portable AR/MR tools for assisting shipyard workers

AI-assisted exoskeletons for reducing fatique and physical stress

Portfolio of worked-centric tools to support labour-intensive tasks
