The Peccioli RIF

What are Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIF)?

• RIFs are facilities for bringing researchers and industry in direct

contact with current and new users of robotics technology

• New user groups are: E++ experiments, SMEs and start-ups, Students

The purpose of the RIFs is hence:

• To be a living lab

• To serve as test-beds for E++ experiments

• To be central and sustainable showrooms for the general public

What are Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIF)?

RIFs’ equipments

• The platforms in the RIF provide capacities to make

experiments in realistic settings.

• The platforms provided in the RIF are supported by a team

of researchers and technicians in the mechatronics,

control and supervision.

Cognitive Logistics Robots

Target:Robotic environment able to provide a service for people in order to simplify the

execution of specific tasks, such as logistics robots that provide autonomous

transport of goods and autonomous transport of people (especially elderly people)

in urban area, from streets to houses passing through condos (i.e. Robotown)

Experimental Test

Beds:

Agricultural and Food

RoboticsTarget:Robotics can change the entire homestead or agricultural facility: thanks to

the automatization of the entire process from the raw product to the

finished one (i.e. from grain to flour to pasta; from fruit to beverage) and

the development of agricultural robots for precision farming (i.e.

automatized cleaning of barns, harvest, groom).

1st Call for Experiments: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Experiments

www.echord.eu

Selected Experiments (first call), Peccioli RIF

CASE A

Surgery: the aim is to develop a vision guided robotic platform for laser eye surgery.

“..Robotic platform assembly and testing activities can have

advantages in using a RIF because of this can accelerate

the system integration”

Justification of the use of Peccioli RIF of CASE A’s

Experimenters

CASE B

Agricultural Robotics: improvement of automatic harvestingsystems for green asparagus“A first session of experiments will be conducted at the very

beginning of the project to get expert advice on potential

optimisations. A second session will be conducted at the

end to attract consumers and to raise awareness while

running field experiments”

Justification of the use of Peccioli RIF of CASE B’s

Experimenters


CASE C

Rehabilitation: development of a planar rehabilitation robot aimed to restore upper limb functionality.

“The Peccioli RIF comprises the Auxilium Vitae rehabilitation center

in which neurological patients and engineers and therapists

generally work side by side. Due to these conditions, the Peccioli RIF

is an ideal cradle to develop and test the robotic rehabilitation

device”

Justification of the use of Peccioli RIF of CASE C’s

ExperimentersCASE D

Assistant Robot: to develop a mobile robotic assistant for tire workshops

“We plan to use the Peccioli RIF, where local industries are

available for testing new robotic co-workers, to evaluate

the effectiveness of our solution in other industrial settings”

Justification of the use of Peccioli RIF of CASE D’s

Experimenters


CASE EAssistant Robot: aims at developing a co-working robot for specificfloor building functions: grout removal and floor washing with acid.

“The Peccioli RIF is the right location to demonstrate the prototype

and to recruit construction workers: the RIF possess contacts with

the Municipality of Peccioli which would help to recruit

construction workers to which demonstrate the system and that will

be trained to use it”

Justification of the use of Peccioli RIF of CASE E’s

ExperimentersCASE FRehabilitation:development of an assistive device for rehabilitation of the upper limb designed to execute rehabilitation exercises for both home and clinic applications. “Our solution will largely benefit from the possibility to be tested at

the Peccioli RIF. The device will be assessed in the Ambient Assisted

Living Lab first, replicating a real domestic environment and then at

the Auxilium Vitae rehabilitation centre (Volterra), with the availability

of medical staff experienced in using robotic rehabilitation devices”
