CONVERGING aims to Develop, deploy, validate, and promote smart and reconfigurable production systems including multiple autonomous agents (collaborative robots, AGVs, humans) that are able to act in diverse production environments.

The project proposes the development of systems that can:

Identify and recognize processes/resources/environment and their status
Analyze the production system status and autonomously formulate a plan of actions using AI
Automatically modify h/w and control systems to execute the formulated plans
Seamlessly work with humans or other resources establishing a social industrial environment
Expand its capabilities and Openness via an Open Pilot Network

The CONVERGING results will be demonstrated in the following sectors: Automotive, Aircraft Production, White Goods and Additive Manufacturing products processing sectors.

Improving Posture in Human-Robot Collaboration: Enhancing Efficiency and Worker Well-Being

/ 10 Dec 24

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) offers the potential to combine human intuition and expertise with robotic strength and precision, revolutionizing workplace efficiency. However, ensuring intuitiveness, safety, and comfort in these interactions is crucial. One significant factor in optimizing HRC is improving worker posture through adaptive robotic movements, which can personalize workstations and enhance both acceptance and productivity.
User-centred design methods: Co-creation and human-centric solutions

/ 03 Dec 24

Industry 5.0’s approach to developing new smart-production systems is characterized by user-centric design approaches. User-centred designs centralize the end-user by prioritizing their needs and experience, and this is captured by involving the end-user in different stages of product development. The involvement of end-users in the design process serves two key functions. Firstly, it helps capture end-users’ needs and expectations of the product, alongside factors such as product usability and accessibility.
