COROB Open Call 2: Solutions to robotics challenges
In this Open Call COROB will be focused on the following Funding Instrument: “Solutions to challenges” to fund up to 2 technology providers aimed to develop technical solutions covering up to 2 use-case challenges, to be further integrated and validated in the COROB project use cases.
USE CASE 1
This use case will focus on a cooperative multi-robot system for flexible manufacturing. The welding process will be performed using a jigless robotic approach, defined as robotic welding without tools/jigs in which two manipulator robots hold and present the workpieces to one welding robot.
USE CASE 2
This use case will deploy a multi-robot cooperative robotic cell for the repair of tooling. The main industrial robot will be responsible for the processing operations, equipped with a Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) or else referred as Direct Energy Deposition Arc (DED-Arc) head as an end effector, taking care of the repair tasks. Together with a 2-DoF2 rotary table, it will constitute an 8-DoF processing system, capable of repairing very complex geometries. Additionally, a smaller, collaborative robot will be integrated in the cell and will be responsible for the auxiliary processing tasks. A core technology integrated in the robot will be 3D scanning, while other technologies (e.g. inspection, part treatment, finishing, etc.) will be examined through the Open Calls of the project.
