AIKIDO - Generative AI-based Kitting with Integrated Deliberation
AIKIDO aims to revolutionize manufacturing processes by developing advanced AI-based solutions.
The system will utilize advanced vision-based methods to identify parts, determine optimal grasping locations, and validate these with Vision-Language Models (VLMs). AI planning for robot kinematics will be employed to efficiently create a planning based on incoming kitting orders, ensuring safe human-robot collaboration (HRC) through AI-based safety protocols. To eliminate the tool change time development of flexible grippers capable of handling various parts based on size and shape. This flexibility will be complemented by seamless natural language communication and interaction between operators and robots, enabling a more intuitive and efficient automation process. The novel concepts developed in this project, aimed at digitalizing, planning, and scheduling circular manufacturing, can be applied across various industrial sectors.
