Important results from the project
The project developed new methods for perception, prediction, and safe planning and control of autonomous robots collaborating with humans. The main industrial impact is the industrialization at one of the industrial partners, where autonomous mobile robots are now used in daily operation in human-robot collaboration within internal logistics. The project also contributed to continued automation of laboratory operations in life-science. The goals were largely achieved.
Expected long term effects
In the long term, the project is expected to contribute to a sustainable and competitive industry where humans and autonomous robots work together safely and efficiently. A user-centered perspective strengthens operators´ trust, acceptance, and well-being and contributes to a good work environment. The industrialized technology can spread to more applications and sectors, from manufacturing to life science, and relieve heavy and repetitive tasks.
Approach and implementation
The consortium was built on complementary competencies. Chalmers contributed perception, prediction, and control, the University of Skövde user-centered design and human-robot interaction, while CIT served as the link between academic research and industrial application. The industrial partners contributed real-world use cases, technical environments, and implementation in operation. Together the partners covered the entire chain from research to industrialization.
