Focus

The proposed workshop aims at the practical enhancement of the collaboration capabilities of collaborative robots (cobots) for dynamic and unstructured environments. In particular, this workshop focuses on adapting cobots to operate efficiently in real industrial and healthcare environments by addressing challenges such as safety, adaptability (to different users and products) and user-friendly integration. In addition, it explores cost-effective solutions that are able to transform traditional manual production processes of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by the adoption of cobots, emphasizing scalability and practical deployment without requiring extensive technical expertise. This workshop invites academic researchers and industrial partners of different international projects (ROBOTA-SUDOE and REMAIN), research groups (HURO) and technological institutes (ADIV) to show their own experience in the agri-food (meat and fruit), manufacturing (toys and shoes) and rehabilitation sectors and discuss their extension to other sectors with the audience.
