At Automatica 2014, the research results of the EU Project TAPAS (http://www.tapas-project.eu/) are shown.
Two mobile robots are working in cooperation in an industrial environment similar to the actual production site at Grundfos in Denmark.
The Little Helper assembles rotor cores from rotor shafts and caps and drops them into small load carrier (SLC).
After the assembly, the quality of the rotor core parts is inspected.
The omniRob delivers subassembly parts from storage to the Little Helper and returns assembled rotor cores.
Here, the robot motions are planned autonomously based on information of a previously recorded 2D map and 3D models of the workstations.
