Project Details
Description
The LEGO Demonstrator project is part of the MADE research initiative, involving SDU and partner companies.
The LEGO Demonstrator project aims to tackle the challenges of introducing multi-robotic solutions to assist operators in injection mold (dis-)assembly operations at LEGO. Currently, mold assembly and disassembly are performed manually by human operators to ensure the quality of plastic molding production. This project employs a robotic system to support human operators in (dis-)assembling injection molds during maintenance operations. It utilizes an industrial robot to lift heavy components, and a collaborative robot equipped with an automatic screwdriver.
The project addresses three main challenges: first, simplifying the programming process for robotic systems in scenarios with high product variants using Digital Twins; second, digitalizing manual processes to create comprehensive descriptions that provide detailed information for both humans and machines; and third, enabling safe human-robot collaboration with industrial robots for (dis-)assembly operations in the manufacturing industry.
