Expected results:
Develop an initial state of the situation of the upholstered furniture sector with respect to the current processes of applying adhesive to polyurethane foam in companies in the sector.
Identify and select the most complex adhesive application processes in polyurethane foam to be automated through advanced software and hardware solutions based on robotic systems.
Design new adhesive application processes that allow the integration of dynamic systems based on robotic arms, bringing robotic automation closer to the upholstered furniture sector.
Increase knowledge in the field of using artificial vision systems adapted to tasks in the upholstered furniture sector.
Develop a system for generating dynamic trajectories that adapts to the different scenarios and variability found in the material input.
Design a control system that synchronizes all elements of the cell and allows the anthropomorphic robot to execute the gluing task.
Improve the health at work of people who currently carry out this process, freeing them from repetitive tasks and reducing exposure to toxic elements that have a negative effect on their health.
Execution of actions for the dissemination and direct transfer of knowledge and technology.
