The resulting pilot plant uses Comau\u2019s industrial robotics equipment and advanced vision systems integration know-how to automate the classification and palletization of incoming electronic waste and to drive the object-specific disassembly process. Furthermore, in close collaboration with the vision systems integrator, Comau has helped develop the software algorithms used by its high-payload NJ-220 robot and the Racer-5L Cobot based on ROS environment, a solution which also adopts a novel approach using safety sensors to create effective, fenceless human-machine collaboration.<br><br><em>\u201cInitiatives such as these bring immense value in terms of multi-faceted sustainability, and underscore Comau\u2019s ongoing dedication to helping promote and enable a truly circular economy,\u201d said&nbsp; <\/em><em>Alfio Minissale, EU project manager<\/em><em>. \u201cThe novel use of vision system sensors to create a virtual cage that allows the high-speed industrial robot to work alongside human operators, is just one example of how Comau is committed to lending its culture of innovation and excellence to reduce the amount of non-recycled e-waste within Europe and eventually the world.\u201d<\/em><em><br><\/em><em><br><\/em>HR-Recycler is arguably one of the first indoor hybrid human-robot recycling plants for electrical and electronic equipment within the EU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comau contributed to the HR-Recycler project, a pilot Hybrid Human-Robot Recycling plant for electrical and electronic equipment funded by the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program providing its cutting edge technologies.Working with industrial partners from all over Europe to address the fact that recycling is often hazardous and time-consuming, since the categorization, disassembly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":49827,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-highlights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
