Artificially Intelligent Robotic Systems enabled by Additive Manufacturing for Human-Centered Interdisciplinary Applications
Combining additive manufacturing, sensorial and actuation components, with applied artificial intelligence (AI) this projects aims to address the challenges that arise in different environments with robot systems targeting human-centered applications.
Background
This research project focuses on the combination of additive manufacturing, sensorial and actuation components, as well as applied artificial intelligence (AI) for the design, development and control of agile and multidimensional robot systems targeting human-centered applications.
Aims and objectives
The research specifics and application scopes are strictly defined by challenges faced in both social and occupational environments. From i) energy-sustainable wearables for healthcare, ii) exoskeletons for assistance in occupational environments, iii) robots intended for social interaction and AI policy evaluation, iv) micro robots for localized drug release, and v) hybrid robotics for automated inspection in hazardous environments, the planned research scope requires the cross-boundary integrated involvement of multiple scientific and academic disciplines.
Project plan
With focus on following sustainable development practices, the plans going forward involve the establishment of a project plan with positive environmental and human-oriented impact. The forming of interdisciplinary research consortiums and proposal submission on national/ international levels is a current priority, as well as infrastructure building for cutting-edge robotics development and validation.
Applied interdisciplinarity
Integrated involvement of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, Material Scientists, Medical Doctors, Physiotherapists, Neurophysiologists, Pharmaceutics etc., with the purpose of creating and evaluating cross-border autonomous solutions to real-life challenges.
