LCM is working together with the company Brantner on an autonomous robot system that automatically replaces full waste garbage cans with empty ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the K2 center \u201cSymbiotic Mechatronics\u201d, LCM supports the project with hardware consulting, the development of gripping and holding devices and the planning of the entire container changing process. In addition, robot control, chassis mechanics, sensors and monitoring are integrated into the existing AGV control system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new feature is that the collected waste can now also be sorted autonomously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We used our virtual commissioning tool (Industrial Physics) to simulate the container change process in order to check accessibility and collision-free operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
