Modular, Mobile and Autonomous Robotics for Manufacturing SMEs

The CoRoT project is a collaboration of French and UK partners funded by the EU Interreg Programme. research group has developed mobile robot demonstrating autonomous operations particularly aiming for applications within flexible manufacturing factories small to medium enterprises (SMEs). robot’s capability full separation classifies it as modular robotic system. Although possible, introduces challenges in areas staff training, physical labour workshop planning. This paper new method resolving overt issues lifting robot, storing making use two systems well highlighting emergency stop regulations maintaining warranty equipment. By using steel framed pneumatic lift, top module can be removed held place, anchoring arm whilst freeing base perform delivery tasks enabling seamless systems.
