AI-PRISM

AI Powered human-centred Robot Interactions for Smart Manufacturing (AI-PRISM) is an Innovation Action project under Horizon Europe framework, driven by industry and users, which will provide an ecosystem of AI-based, human-centred solutions, targeting manufacturing scenarios with difficult-to-automate tasks where speed and versatility are essential. The result will be an integrated and scalable ecosystem with specific installation solutions for semi-automated and collaborative manufacturing in flexible production processes and for which no specific robotic programming skills will be required, thanks to its programming-by-demonstration modules.

The AI-PRISM modular collaborative robotics platform, compatible with different types of collaborative robots, will leverage AI-based solutions to acquire enhanced reasoning, perception and coordination capabilities when interacting with the environment, products, other systems and humans, within changing, dynamic and partially unpredictable manufacturing scenarios.

AI-PRISM will provide a complete solution using intelligent mechatronics designed specifically for manufacturing SMEs.

Duration: 01/10/2022 – 30/09/2025

The main objectives of the AI-PRISM project are:

  • To create a human-centred AI-based solutions ecosystem targeted to manufacturing scenarios.
  • To improve Human-Robot Collaborations by making machines aware of what human workers do, enabling them to reason, react and interact to expected and unexpected situations.
  • To support a change of paradigm where AI, robotics and Social Sciences and Humanities are integrated.
  • To overcome the complexity of programming, providing an affordable and simple solution to SMEs.

Automated production management

CPS is also of particular interest for production strategy and supply chain engineering. The control of production systems through CPS operating with robust optimisation algorithms in real time allows the recalculation of production schedules in the event of unexpected events (machine stoppages, lack of materials, urgent orders, etc.). This enables direct reprogramming of automatic and semi-automatic machines, speeding up production and minimising downtime.

Additionally, this automated production management can be combined with the generation of automatic changes in the task masters of the operators, as these are still very present in many small companies with low levels of digitisation. In this way, a rebalancing of workloads can be achieved, maximising the efficiency of production systems.
