OBJECTIVES
Adapt advanced robotics supported by artificial intelligence technologies to the end-users needs and increase their technological readiness levels for the three considered scenarios.
Adapt advanced robotics supported by artificial intelligence technologies to the end-users needs and increase their technological readiness levels for the three considered scenarios.
Design and develop the PILOTING I&M open and scalable platform.
PILOTING I&M platform will be designed following a scalable architecture using open interfaces. The PILOTING architecture and interfaces will be promoted during the project as a future industrial standard that will facilitate the integration of robotic solutions into new business cases related to inspection and maintenance.
Integrate the full value chain to demonstrate benefits of the PILOTING technological developments through large-scale pilots in real conditions and infrastructures.
These pilots will not only demonstrate the developed technologies, but it will also involve the full value chain (from technological providers, to inspection service providers and asset owners) ensuring the future industrial application and exploitation of PILOTING technological developments.
Overcome current barriers in inspection and maintenance robotics.
Previous robotics I&M projects have been mainly focused on pure technological development. While PILOTING project will concentrate on fulfilling realistic end-users requirements and operational restrictions where congested structures, air turbulence, lack of line-of-sight navigation, weather conditions among others need consideration.
Support to the promotion of European robotic solutions within the inspection and maintenance industry.
This objective will involve the dissemination of best practices, the development of business models that validate the added value of robotic technologies, and the impact of ethical, societal, privacy and cybersecurity aspects on the use of robotics technologies in inspections and maintenance operations. Furthermore, it will be promoted the connections of applied robotic technologies with IoT (Internet of Things) and 5G-related technologies.
In order to fulfil these objectives, the following
technological objectives are considered:
Development of advanced autonomous functionalities for inspection robotic systems.
Development of artificial intelligence algorithms applied to inspection analytics.
Development of a generic robot control station. Integration of diverse robotic systems within the PILOTING I&M platform using open interfaces and a scalable architecture.
Validation of the developed robotic systems and PILOTING I&M platform.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871542.
