Projects >POLEA Lab > Lab Robotics / Exoskeletons
This Lab is focused on demonstration, testing, validation and scaling of robotic solutions and industrial exoskeletons for:
  • Operator support
  • efficient industrial automation
  • intra-logistics
  • Industry 5.0

What is it?

It is a specialized space for technological demonstration, training, feasibility tests, and industrial scaling of solutions. We show elements that reduce operation time, make work easier for operators, avoid risks, and reduce costs.

We have exoskeletons, collaborative, mobile and autonomous robots. Mobile robotics, given its need for space, is shown through an additional large showroom.

Industrial exoskeletons

Apex 2 Exosuit

Repetitive movement of loads

Affected body area: Back and lumbar region

A passive exoskeleton designed to correct posture and assist workers in lifting and handling tasks. It is adjustable to different physiognomies with different resistances. Allows total mobility.

Available in the lab

Exosoft

Repetitive movement of loads

Affected body area: Back and lumbar region

Ergonomic textile exoskeleton for lumbar support. The action of the muscles is replaced by “artificial muscles” formed by elastomers of variable deformation that support the person in the realization of any movement in which the lumbar area is involved. It allows full mobility of the body.

Lab Services

The services provided by the Lab are free of charge for SMEs in Castilla y León, with the exception of the complete development of prototypes. If you are not an SME, or you are not located in Castilla y León, you can also request the services, and we will try to help you by means of a previous technical-economic proposal, and search, if necessary, for alternative lines of aid.

Our prices, in case of services that are not free of charge, are adjusted to actual costs, without any commercial margin.

Technological demostration

We carry out basic demonstration sessions in the lab and customized demonstrations according to the customer’s needs.

Testing in a real working scenario

We travel to the customer’s facilities so that they can test the equipment in their real work scenario, in order to receive feedback and be able to adjust or develop future adaptations. The loan of the equipment is always temporary, normally limited to a maximum of 7 days.

Feasibility analysis for equipment adaptation or customization

If the client indicates the need to adapt the equipment, we carry out a feasibility analysis, through the compilation of technical and functional specifications, and cost assessment.

Development of adaptations or proofs of concept of new solutions

If the feasibility analysis is positive, we develop the necessary adaptations to the equipment, so that it can be adjusted to the customer’s needs. In the case of not being able to cover the specifications through an adaptation, we develop proofs of concept of new equipment.

DIHBU can develop prototypes through the Lab, but always in collaboration with the final customer, and counting on R&D areas of collaborators, usually its own technological members.

Prototypes are not eligible for a free service under the POLEA LAB project, but we can refer the customer to other funding programs that can partially or totally cover these costs.

Validation of new solutions

The Lab can validate prototypes developed by third parties. In this sense, any SME in Castilla y León can request a validation of a prototype of robotic equipment for a specific use or application. The Lab can locate the most appropriate validation scenario within the industry of Castilla y León.

Support for industrial scale-up

Star service of the Lab, oriented to support manufacturing processes of first units and short series after the validation of a prototype. The objective is to ensure that future manufacturing of new equipment is carried out in Castilla y León, either by the client itself or through manufacturing agreements with consolidated companies.

Technical training

From the lab we can offer specialized technical training on any robotic element or exoskeleton, within the scope of the project. This service is very useful to train workers before the implementation of new equipment.
