Sestosenso

The project aims at the development of a sensory skin with the capability to detect and distinguish object in a volume surrounding the robot arm. Furthermore, the skin, integrated with the robot arm allow the robot arm to react dynamically adjusting its own trajectories to avoid the operator, or anyway to safely interact with it. Some features like touch sentiveness and touch HMI are included too.

The technologies used are several, including touch sensitive skin, vision systems, 3D environment reconstruction in real time, AI (for trajectory definition, adaptive planning, vision …) wireless connection of modules, …. The device will be at relatively low TRL (TRLx) and thus not yet directly affected by standardisation. Nevertheless, the device is designed to interact with human operators and can be applied both on robots and exoskeletons. Use cases are defined for cobots and for exoskeletons.

In this context it is important for us to understand the regulations that might affect our developments, the standardisation and regulation landscape we have to refer to, and if there is the need to start interacting with technical commitees and standardisation bodies at this early stage of development.

The project does not have a specifically dedicated task/deliverable for standardisation, nevertheless, it is important to understand the regulations that might affect its developments, the standardisation and regulation landscape it has to refer to, and if there is the need to start interacting with technical commitees and standardisation bodies at this early stage of development.
