The term cobot connects "collaboration "and "robot ". It describes robots designed for direct interaction/collaboration with humans.
In the "Digital Assistance Systems for Carpentry Workshops" project, a use case for a collaborative grinding robot (cobot) is being jointly developed by the Faculties of Design and Electrical Engineering at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences as part of the AI production network – with a focus on intuitive "teaching" of the grinding process and quality control in the process.
A grinding application cell based on the robot type UR10e is used for the experiments. Here, a 3D visualization was created with the support of motion capturing to analyze work processes by simulating them and to formulate and present scenarios of using AI in the skilled trades. The aim is to evaluate new visual representation and simulation workflows using CAD and tracking data using various simulation tools such as Unreal Engine and Nvidia Omniverse.
