It \u201cgets the robot to act accordingly with the ultimate goal of driving collaborative work between operators and robots and thus enhancing operator ergonomics and ramping up process productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sharework system\u2019s proofs-of-concept have been conducted at Eurecat\u2019s laboratories in Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s, Catalonia; at STAM in Genoa, Italy; at the University of Brescia, Italy, and at the University of Patras, Greece.<\/p>\n<p>After initial validation in a controlled laboratory environment in which employees of the project\u2019s end users have been able to try out the technologies developed, tests will begin in the production and assembly plants of four industrial companies. Specifically, they will be run at SEAT S.A., in Martorell; at GOIZPER, in the Basque Country; at ALSTOM, in Santa Perpetua de Mogoda, and at CEMBRE\u2019s facilities in Brescia.<\/p>\n<p>The project has successfully tested the use of multiple cameras and sensors, smart data processing and the incorporation of augmented reality, gesture and speech recognition technology to afford intelligence to the robots and tailor their performance to workers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<p>The development of the system also includes ongoing study of human factors with the aim of adjusting and improving the user\u2019s perception and increasing operator buy-in to the new robotic solution.<\/p>\n<p>The Sharework project is fully funded by the European Commission and is being run in Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Greece. Its purpose is to furnish industries with \u201ca system for rolling out collaborative robotics in industry to make industrial assembly processes safer and more efficient in a worker-centred approach which provides them with a system to help them in their everyday tasks,\u201d says Sharework project coordinator Simona Neri.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Implementation in four kinds of real-world industrial scenarios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Set against the current backdrop of the rise of collaborative robotics, Sharework targets deployment of operator-robot collaboration in four types of real-world industrial scenarios in the automotive, rail, metalworking and capital goods manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The project kicked off in November 2018 and is scheduled to end on 31 October 2022. It has a \u20ac7.3 million budget and is part of the \u201cTransforming European Industry\u201d strand in the Horizon 2020 call which seeks to implement innovative artificial intelligence technologies to enable effective robot-worker collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Sharework is run by a consortium made up by 15 partners. They are six research institutions (Eurecat, Fraunhofer IWU, the Italian National Research Council, the University of Patras, the University of Darmstadt and the RWTH Aachen University); eight industrial partners, of which four are industrial companies (STRANE, STAM, INTRASOFT and MCM), and four end-users (SEAT S.A., ALSTOM, CEMBRE and GO) along with a standardisation organisation (UNE).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Sharework project led by the Eurecat technology centre has tested a new smart system for safe and ergonomic collaboration between robots and workers in industry with a view to enhancing the working conditions of operators.
