This training activity will provide knowledge for High Payload Robot (HPR)-based shipbuilding operations for heavy parts manipulation and welding operations. The sessions will include theoretical information and hands-on experience for the design and implementation of safety systems for HRC, Digital twin technology for autonomous robot motions and task executions along with direct (hand guiding) and indirect (AR-pen) robot programming and interaction. Process perception for robot motion will also be discussed.
Topics:
  • Safety in HRC
  • Digital twin technology and autonomous robots
  • Direct and indirect HR interaction
  • Process perception for bin picking

Agenda: four 75-minute slots:

Slot#1: 9:15-10:30

Slot#2: 11:15-12:30

Slot#3: 13:15-14:30

Slot#4: 15:15-16:30

  • Introduction
  • Theoretical session
  • Demonstration session
  • Mari4_YARD hands on
  • Feedback collection
  • Conclusions

Location: 1st Automation and Robotics Expo, Athens, Greece

Organisers: Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation  and GIZELIS Robotics
