NUTAI, together with a consortium formed by seven SMEs (Icpe SA, Ikor Electronic Systems SI, Moses Products SI, Mr. NeC BV, Nuevas Técnicas de Automatización Industrial SI, Stam SRL, Steripack Ireland LTD), five research centers (Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik GmbH, Fundación AITIIP, Clermont Auvergne INP, Irish Manufacturing Research Company, Fundación Centro de Tecnologías de Interacción Visual y Comunicaciones Vicomtech), two universities (Berner Fachhochschule and University of the Church of Deusto, a religious entity), and two clusters (Pôle EMC2 and Robocoast), aims to develop and demonstrate a novel concept of cognitive robotic platforms based on a modular approach capable of seamlessly adapting to virtually any industrial scenario by applying agile manufacturing principles.
The innovative industrial platform will be based on the plug-and-produce concept, featuring a modular and scalable architecture that will allow the connection of robotic systems with enhanced cognitive capabilities to handle cyber-physical systems (CPS) in rapidly changing production environments.
The ACROBA project (AI-Driven Cognitive Robotic Platform for Agile Production Environments), project number 101017284, is part of the European H2020 program, under the topic ICT-46-2020 Robotics in Application Areas and Coordination & Support, and classified as an Innovation Action (IA). Within H2020-ICT there are 10 subtopics, including ICT-46, for which 712 proposals were submitted, of which 78 were selected for funding, with a total amount of €373.5 million.
