Comet project

Comet project

The COMET Project is a European Union (EU) R&D project aiming to improve the accuracy in machining process with industrial robots (IR). The full name is: “plug-and-produce Components and METhods for adaptive control of industrial robots enabling cost effective, high precision manufacturing in factories of the future”.

Industrial robots are generally lacking of absolute and positioning accuracy (0.5-1mm). Although IRs are currently used in machining tasks, their role is mainly auxiliary. On the other hand their freedom of movement (usually 6DoF) and their extended reach would make robots a very interesting option, instead of conventional CNC (computer numerical control) machines.

Approach

The scientific approach the COMET project is introducing, is based on the development of both software and hardware capable of analyzing, preventing and compensating industrial robots’ inaccuracies. The aim is to develop a Plug-and-Produce platform that will be cost effective, flexible and reliable.

Funding

The COMET project is co-funded by the European Commission as part of the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP), via the Factories of the Future (FoF) Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). In FoF European Commission and industry are collaborating in research to support the development and innovation of new enabling technologies for the EU manufacturing sector.
