HANDLING WITH
AI-ENHANCED
ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES FOR FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
Project overview
HARTU is an industry-led research project addressing the main challenges of part handling in the manufacturing lines, including gripping, assembly and placement, using innovative and AI-enhanced technical approaches.
The project will apply innovative techniques in industrial case studies to develop tools capable of handling a wide range of products in terms of shape, material and size, enhancing the flexibility, reconfigurability and efficiency of production lines.
