In the manufacturing industry, robots are not anymore confined to heavy activities (welding, handling, etc.). Now, they can supplement human beings for repetitive tasks of sorting, screwing, or also packaging. We also talk about cobotics, or collaborative robotics.
This booming specialty presents technical issues around many of the ADVANS Group areas of expertise. In Grenoble, a team made of four interns (three ELSYS Design, one AViSTO) designed a robotic arm integrating an artificial vision system.
