Project Description
COMANOID stands for -Multi-Contact Collaborative Humanoids in Aircraft Manufacturing- is a RIA four-year European research project that started in January 2015 as part of the Horizon H2020 program.
COMANOID aims at deploying humanoid robots to achieve non-added value tasks that have been identified by Airbus Group in aircraft assembly operations. The project focuses on showing precise accessibility (namely into areas where wheeled robots cannot be deployed) through whole body multi-contact planning motion with advanced embedded 3D dense SLAM localization and visuo-force servoing capabilities. Because the robots evolve in human worker co-localized spaces, safety issues will be specifically accounted for. The results of COMANOID will be showcased in a 1:1 scale demonstrator of a real aircraft using two humanoid robots: the HRP-4 position controlled humanoid robot provided by CNRS partner and the TORO torque controlled humanoid robot provided by DLR partner.
Goals
- To investigate the deployment of humanoid robots solutions in Airbus assembly operations that are laborious and inaccessible for wheeled platforms.
- To achieve Human-robot safe and operationally efficient collaboration.
