IL3.2A - PEPELP Smart Workbench for Production-Line Trials

A physical reduced-scale production-line trial prototype, designated Smart Workbench, assembled and operational at AIDI. It combines object detection, human and hand movement tracking, edge sensing and retroprojection with visual feedback.

  • Main Gain(s): Physical validation environment, Operator feedback, Production-line simulation in reduced scale, Public demonstration capacity

  • Use Case(s): AIDI Smart Workbench demonstrator replicating production-line tasks and Bosch-oriented operational scenarios

  • Start TRL: TRL 2

  • Final TRL: TRL 4

  • Main Contributions: Universidade de Aveiro (coord. Prof. Eugénio Rocha; support Diogo Costa) with Bosch Termotecnologia, S.A. (coord. Eng. Nelson Ferreira)
