ARISE – ADVANCED AI AND ROBOTICS FOR AUTONOMOUS TASK PERFORMANCE

Driven by the needs of Solar Panel installation and maintenance, and the harvesting of hydroponic lettuce

Our Mission

ARISE aims to realise a robotic platform that focuses on two crucial industrial sectors that can drive the European Green Deal progress, namely Energy and Agriculture. ARISE will be driven by the needs of Solar Panel installation and maintenance and the harvesting of hydroponic lettuce. It will be validated on five highly challenging Use Case Scenarios, including but not limited to, picking up and moving Solar Panels in collaboration with human workers, transplanting delicate lettuce pieces and repairing solar panel back-sheets with silicon-based sealants. This set of scenarios involves extremely diverse requirements in terms of long-sequence task accomplishment, complex, contact-rich manipulation and physical Human-Robot Interaction.

Our Consortium

Our consortium brings together partners from eight countries namely Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Croatia, Cyprus and UK: Four research centres (CERTH, THL, CEA and CSIC), four universities (SSSA, TUDa, HMU, ESS), one highly prominent industrial company (ALS), five high-tech SMEs (BBL, PLX, UBT, PRO, TEL) and two end-users (ELVAN, JEPCO). ARISE partners are all extremely prominent in their respective fields, contributing to the constant evolution of autonomous robots by leveraging the capabilities of robotic systems combined with the technological innovations of AI, hardware, and network technologies and forming modular systems to speed up their integration in industrial processes.
