    VALERI: Haptic Interaction Through Tactile Sensing

    Published on Jun 15, 2015

    The EU-funded project VALERI is focusing on using mobile robots for aerospace production. The robot is an adaptation to the KUKA omniRob that features sensors for safety and interaction developed by the Fraunhofer IFF. These sensors include tactile sensors around the platform and linear column to safely detect contact with nearby human co-workers and the environment, and an optical workspace monitoring system to safeguard tools during operation.

    The video shows how non-trained, non-expert personnel can intuitively interact with a mobile robot to move it through space from a starting position to a specified end configuration. Being able to interact with a mobile robot on the shop floor is an important feature for mobile manipulation and this is one solution.

    VALERI: mobile robot for aerospace manufacturing (final demo)

    Published on Nov 23, 2015

    The VALERI project, supported by the European Commission under the FP7 “Factories of the Future” Public-Private Partnership, had its final demonstration on October 22nd, 2015 in Airbus DS facilities in Sevilla, Spain. VALERI stands for “Validation of Advanced, Collaborative Robotics for Industrial Applications” and the project aimed to show where mobile manipulators could be used to carry-out non-ergonomic, monotonous tasks, or tasks which re-occur through the entire production process. Mobile manipulators need to be able to work side by side next to humans, without separating barriers between them, to allow both humans and robots to be able to complete their work independent of the other, while still working in close proximity or even on the same parts.

    The project focused on three exemplary tasks namely applying sealant along a groove, inspecting the applied sealant, and inspecting braided carbon parts. While the first two applications are closely related, the VALERI consortium chose a third application to demonstrate the overall flexibility of the system. The robot is able to change tools and the programming for carrying out completely new processes can be done quickly and intuitively.

    While the focus of the project was on aerospace applications, the consortium would like to underline the flexibility of the system, making it applicable for other manufacturing industries in general.
