The study of management methods to facilitate the integration of collaborative robotics in a manufacturing context

René Matériaux Composites

Appart from technical challenges, various human and managerial challenges may result from collaborative robotics implementation. This project aims to identify how employees can be affected by this technology and what are the required practices for proper change management in this context. 

DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF A WEARABLE AND COLLABORATIVE SUPPLEMENTARY ROBOTIC ARM BASED ON MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL CLUTCHES.

Exonetik

In the aerospace industry, assembly workers have to lift heavy parts and often work in non-ergonomic positions, which entail muscular fatigue, increase the risk of injuries and reduce production efficiency. Robotic systems assisting workers in their daily tasks have the potential to overcome those issues. However, industrial robotic technologies are ...

Design of collaborative robots for assembly tasks in aerospace manufacturing processes

Bombardier Aéro

This research aims at developing novel robotic systems and approaches tailored to the manufacturing processes used in the aerospace industry.

Image heightening for automatic identification of industrial parts

Robotiq

The success of classical machine vision algorithms varies greatly depending on multiple factors and often requires the input of a computer vision expert and an implementation in an environment where lighting is perfectly controlled to avoid unwanted reflections and specular highlights that could degrade performance of tasks such as object ...

Wearable Collaborative Robotic Tool

Exonetik

The main goal of the project Wearable Collaborative Robotic Tool (WCRT) is to design and control a wearable robotic arm. A supernumerary robotic arm can increase physical strength, do independent tasks near the human and help him with tasks requiring complex manipulations. This solution may be used in the aerospace ...

Autonomous grasping with pre-taught grasps

Robotiq

The objective of this research project is to develop a method for grasping objects in a heap with a serial six-degree-of-freedom robot, the wrist camera and one of the gripper hands produced by Robotiq.
