Design and Development of Intelligent Robotic Systems
Description
Beyond the development of robots as autonomous and intelligent entities capable of interacting with and adapting to the real world, robotics encompasses a broad range of technologies that can be used to create solutions applicable across various sectors.
The robotics team at ITA specializes in crafting solutions to industrial problems using its expertise in perception, cognition, autonomous navigation, and mechatronics. The development of these systems enables the creation of robotic solutions that operate independently, in collaboration with humans (human-robot interaction), or cooperatively with other robots (robot-robot interaction).
Competitive Advantages
Tasks that are dangerous, repetitive, or require high precision can be automated through full or partial robotization of systems, machines, and/or vehicles involved.
In addition to these obvious advantages, applying these technologies to traditional products or processes opens the door to innovation—enabling the creation of new products and services that can foster business opportunities or enhance competitiveness.
Key benefits include:
- Improved safety: By eliminating or mitigating risks in tasks or processes that inherently pose danger to human workers.
- Increased productivity: By reducing cycle times in industrial processes, boosting transport or load capacity, and maximizing resource utilization.
- Enhanced quality: By improving the precision and repeatability of operations or processes, ensuring consistent quality in each step or cycle.
- Cost reduction: Increased productivity per resource used improves cost-efficiency per unit or piece of equipment.
- Environmental impact reduction: Through improved energy efficiency, the use of clean energy in robot operation, and environmental variable monitoring via drones.
- New business opportunities: By developing innovative solutions tailored to specific problems or opening new fields of application.
Applications
- Construction: We develop prototype solutions for emerging challenges in the construction sector by applying robotics and control technologies to automate construction processes. We also design systems for equipment and structure inspection.
- Logistics: Design and development of autonomous mobile robots to improve logistics processes in warehouses and distribution centers, as well as the use of collaborative robots to enable more efficient and flexible workflows.
- Industry: Development of new product concepts based on disruptive and innovative applications of mobile robotics, manipulation technologies, and perception systems for industrial sectors.
- Agri-food sector: Solutions to increase efficiency in agricultural operations and processing through robotic platforms, perception systems, and automation of machinery and processes.
- Healthcare: Development of solutions for operations in high-risk environments, such as disinfection and inspection tasks.
