Robotics provides autonomous systems everywhere. The latest generation of
robots is capable of collaborating with humans in the same workspace and even
to fulfill their tasks not only in manufacturing, but also in many other domains.
We aim to demonstrate hereby how IBM Watson cognitive capacities applied to
robotics can open a new area of collaborative work. By using cognitive functions
from IBM Watson, our showcased solution TRY integrates vision, speech and
steps ahead towards digital manufacturing; giving industry 4.0 new perspectives.
TRY (Teach Robot Yourself), is a global platform to easily setup, integrate
and monitor “cobots” in secure and connected environments. It can also be
used in design offices, test benches of robots, overall testing, automation and
collaborative learning... TRY is a complete and autonomous system that can be
connected to existing information system.
• Functionalities ready to use
• Physical interaction: touch, press, feel
• Cognitive interaction: learn, add, stop, behave…
• Connectivity
• Data collection and analysis
• Flexibility
• Safety & security
Today robotics is:
Drone and Unmaned Ground Vehicule (UGV) for infrastructure inspection (ex: airbus aircraft)
Drone and UGV – outdoor/indoor material transportation (ex: SNCF).
Humanoïdes for assembly or for communication (ex: Radiall, SNCF).
Arm for collaboratives tasks (ex: Airbus).
Now robotics is connected to the information system and the operator.
Now robotics is able to be autonomous and to learn.
New standards are evolving to ensure security and integrate new technologies.
