Tech Tuesday Forum for Innovative Manufacturers
TOPIC: Ultraflexible Manufacturing: The next step in human-robot collaboration
We are familiar with the routines and benefits of flexible industrial automation, though its future is yet to be determined. Dr Minas Liarokapis will discuss how optimising human-robot interaction can contribute to the development of new ultraflexible industrial automation paradigms – where humans play specific roles alongside robots, and the scaling or reconfiguration of production lines for new products can be accomplished on demand, without needing new infrastructure, thereby facilitating flexibility in production lines.
This presentation will discuss the challenges of creating such sophisticated human robot collaboration frameworks and will include a showcase of hardware and software experiments from the New Dexterity Research group.
