"We are working on the process of assembling and bolting certain parts of an engine block for its automation"
Stellantis and TECNALIA are jointly developing a robotic application for the automotive sector
TECNALIA, in collaboration with experts at Stellantis, are analysing the strategies in order to automate the process. This perspective requires the development of advanced control strategies in order to provide the robotic system with the necessary capabilities to perform precise tracking; maintaining the required cycle times, integrating various technologies, such as advanced low-level control strategies, computer vision perception methods, visual servoing (combination of the previous two technologies), as well as navigation and localisation strategies.
Automation of the automotive sector
The ODIN project represents an innovative breakthrough in the automation of the automotive sector and promises to optimise assembly and bolting processes on assembly lines.
At TECNALIA, we focus on the assembly and bolting process of certain parts of an engine block for its automation. The process will be carried out in motion as car production lines require very strict timings. To achieve this, the ODIN project’s robot, which is in charge of the process, will work from a mobile platform that will follow the pace of the assembly line.
