The STAR Institute presented a preliminary demonstrator that is being developed in partnership with the University of Coimbra and ROBOPLAN within the scope of WP7 – Robot Assisted Deconstruction of the European DreamFab Project during participation in the 3rd meeting of the consortium.

The presentation showed the identification of screws along a metal beam using a camera. This camera, trained using a dataset of contextualized images, can not only detect different types of screws, but can also be continuously optimized. Robotic integration allows the robot to move automatically to unscrew with precision, demonstrating the robustness of the programming and applicability of the solution, essential for the next phases of the project.

In addition to the programming work, the test beam support structure and the chamber support gripper were also manufactured by the STAR Institute.

This demonstration is an expression of STAR Institute's ability to create automated industrial solutions, and its expertise in the digital and robotics areas.
