Use Cases

Pilot Project — Packaging

Cardboard Folding

Special challenge: handling paper

The pilot project covers the development, integration and validation of a humanoid robot system for automated operation of a cardboard packaging line under real production conditions.

• Picking up and positioning the blanks — receiving the die-cut cardboard and aligning it for the packaging process
• Folding the cardboard — automatically erecting and folding the flat blanks into the packaging shape
• Loading products — precise placement of products in the correct position and orientation
• Closing the cartons — bringing together and closing the lids and flaps
• Strapping — securing the package for transport safety and stability
• Placement on the roller conveyor — handover of the finished cartons

Bin Picking

Special challenge: unsorted parts in KLT containers

The humanoid robot takes on the following tasks in particular:

• Removal and feeding of components to machines

  • Removal of workpieces from bulk containers (bin picking)
  • Removal of workpieces from machines or staging areas
  • Alignment and positioning of workpieces for further processing
  • Ensuring the correct position and orientation of workpieces

• Placement & feeding

  • Placement of workpieces into defined containers, trays or storage positions
  • Structured sorting and storage according to specification
  • Positioning and insertion of workpieces into machines or fixtures
  • Preparation of workpieces for downstream processing

• Transport & material flow

  • Transport of workpieces between machines, stations and buffer areas
  • Movement of workpieces and containers within the shop floor

• Structured placement and storage of workpieces

  • Placement of workpieces into defined containers, trays or storage positions
  • Structured sorting and storage according to specification
  • Ensuring the correct position and orientation of workpieces

Pilot Project — Machining

CNC Machine Tending

Special challenge: machine availability around the clock

The robot takes over loading and unloading of CNC mills: raw and finished parts are reliably fed in and removed — including night and weekend shifts.
