Re-use of Robotic data in production

through Search, Simulation and Learning

Summary

A robot database with information on previous robot solutions can save manufacturing companies time and money and allow for smaller-scale companies to automate their production as well. 
 


Although it sounds simple, there are several challenges involved with creating a robot database. For example, robot data are complicated as they consist of images, trajectories, force vectors, information on different materials, CAD-files etc. 
 


With input from industry and international experts, this completed project has gained a much better understanding of the challenges. Next step is to delevop software that allows for the reuse of robot data. 

A robot database with information on previous robot solutions can save manufacturing companies time and money and allow for smaller-scale companies to automate their production as well. This is the conclusion of the ReRoPro project. Although it sounds simple, there are several challenges involved with creating a robot database. For example, robot data are complicated as they consist of images, trajectories, force vectors, information on different materials, CAD-files etc. With input from industry and international experts, the researchers have now gained a much better understanding of the challenges.

Next step is to apply for funding to develop software that allow for the reuse of robot data. The research project took place in a cooperation between the University of Southern Denmark, University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University with the companies Rockwool, Novo Nordisk, Nordbo Robotics and WellTec as partners.

Impact

The project will gain valuable knowledge about how to create a robot database that can save manufacturing companies time and money and allow for smaller-scale companies to automate their production.
