ARISE Experiments
ROBIN
Your AI-Powered Co-pilot for Welding and AM
Transform your manufacturing with a human-centric interface that optimizes processes and empowers operators.
The Challenge: The Inefficiency of Traditional Manufacturing
Today’s robotic welding and additive manufacturing (AM) rely on outdated methods. Proprietary software locks you into specific brands, while static parameters lead to a wasteful trial-and-error approach. This lack of actionable data and inefficient parameter selection costs time, money, and materials, leaving operators as passive monitors instead of active decision-makers.
Our Solution: Intelligent Automation, Unlocked
ROBIN is a novel, AI-driven human-robot interface that gives you back control. The system integrates the powerful RobTrack AI core with open-source ROS 2 and FIWARE middleware, creating a brand-agnostic solution for your factory floor.
Key Features:
- AI-Powered Recommendations: Our system provides validated process parameters rapidly, significantly reducing development time.
- Real-Time Analytics: Monitor key process parameters such as current, voltage, robot speed, wire feed rate, bead geometry, etc. in a single dashboard with automated alerts for any deviation.
- Human-Centric Control: The operator is always in charge, with AI serving as a transparent tool to assist in critical decision-making, not replace it.
Human Centricity: Empowering the Human Element in Industry 5.0
ROBIN is designed to enhance human capabilities. By automating data collection and AI-driven parameter screening, we eliminate repetitive manual effort. This allows operators to move from rote monitoring personnel to informed, strategic decision-makers. Our solution also helps create a more inclusive workforce by reducing physical barriers and attracting diverse talent to a cutting-edge field.
The ARISE Contribution: Fostering an Open-Source Ecosystem
ROBIN will create an “open-source ROS 2 module that integrates AI-driven process parameter optimization with HRI.” This includes elements like a data ingestion engine for multi-source streams, AI anomaly detection, real-time monitoring dashboards, and automated alert systems (via FIWARE integration). The module will be released under an open-source license on GitHub, fostering community involvement and extensions.
Impact & Scalability: The Future of Manufacturing is Here
ROBIN targets a robust market exceeding $71 billion by 2030, with a need for flexible, human-centered solutions. Our solution can cut process development time and cost by at least 50%. This efficiency, combined with a projected reduction of 2,500 metric tons of material waste and 5,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions daily, makes ROBIN a sustainable and profitable choice for forward-thinking companies.
