Project Scientific & Technical Objectives

In order for CoLLaboratE to successfully realize its vision several prerequisites are set in the form of major Scientific and Technological Objectives throughout the project duration. These are summarized in the following points:

1. To equip the robotic agents with basic collaboration skills easily adaptable to specific tasks
2. To develop a framework that enables non-experts teaching human-robot collaborative tasks from demonstration
3. The development of technologies that will enable autonomous assembly policy learning and policy improvement
4. To develop advanced safety strategies allowing effective human robot cooperation with no barriers and ergonomic performance monitoring
5. To develop techniques for controlling the production line while making optimal use of the resources by generating efficient production plans, employing reconfigurable hardware design, and utilizing AGV’s with increased autonomy
6. To investigate the impact of Human-Robot Collaboration to the workers’ job satisfaction, as well as test easily applicable interventions in order to increase trust, satisfaction and performance
7. To validate CoLLaboratE system’s ability to facilitate genuine collaboration between robots and humans
