This training activity gives an introduction to the deployment of mobile manipulators in the context of shipbuilding intra-logistics operations. With the help of theoretical and hands-on sessions, this training activity ranges from basic concepts of robotics to setting up, mapping, and programming a mobile manipulator at INESC TEC’s learning factory.
The training is divided into 5 modules:
- Mobile Robot Navigation System Configuration: This module aims to present the entire process of installing and configuring a mobile robot from scratch. From mapping a new space using SLAM algorithms to defining trajectories.
- OSPS – Open Scalable Production System: This module aims to acquaint learners with the OSPS stack and teach them to use it for skill-based robot programming.
- Robotic Grasping 101: This module will present a theoretical background in automated grasping tasks, giving a general overview of sensing and handling object techniques from hardware to software perspectives.
- Robotic Grasping Hands-on: The current module presents to the participants a hands-on section allowing the deployment of a robotic grasping application based on the developed system in the context of the Mari4_Yard project.
- AR-based Human-Robot Interaction: This training session will cover the basics of extended reality and human-robot interaction, including theoretical background and use of an AR application in a head-mounted display. Throughout the module, participants will work on hands-on exercises that will help them gain practical experience in programming, deploying, and running a complete task on a collaborative robot without coding. They will also have the knowledge and skills to continue exploring and building upon what they have learned as they program new robot programs.
Topics:
- Overview on robotics for intra-logistics
- Theoretical background on mobile manipulation
- Mobile platform set up
- Robotic arm setup
- Skill-based programming
- AR for human-robot interface
Agenda:
- Day 1: 9:30 – 17:30 (coffee and lunch breaks included)
- Day 2: 9:30 -16:00 (coffee and lunch breaks included)
Organisers: INESC TEC
Contact: marcelo.petry@inesctec.pt
Language: Portuguese/English (depending on the participants)
Audience: Maritime students, shipyards operators and owners, interested people
