MAGICIAN 1st open call
The first open call focuses on the integration of new functionalities within MAGICIAN project solutions through close collaboration with MAGICIAN partners.
The aim is to enhance the capabilities of the SR (Sensing Robot) and CR (Cleaning Robot) through advanced technologies such as:
– improved defect detection algorithms,
– more efficient rework techniques, or
– complementary AI modules that optimize their performance in real-time production environments.
More precisely, the MAGICIAN project integrates collaborative robotics, AI-driven defect detection and repair, and human-centered design principles to produce a system that enhances productivity, safety, and ergonomics in manufacturing, while also considering ethical and social dimensions.
Funded projects must provide a solution to be integrated in the MAGICIAN framework, while focusing on a single module between the ones descibed below (F1 or F2) and proposing a maximum of two functionalities for integration within that module (applicants must specify their chosen module when applying):
F1. PERCEPTION
F1.1 Sensors for accurate defect detection and classification
F1.2 Polarized camera system
F1.3 Increase defect removal and rework abilities
F1.4 Annotation Tools for Multi-Modal Data
F1.5 Innovative approaches and architectures for improved defect detection and classification
F1.6 Wearable Tactile Systems for Capturing Operator Expertise in Defect Detection and Classification
F2. HUMAN-ROBOT COLLABORATION
F2.1 Human Observation
F2.2 Human Interface and Interaction
F2.3 Human worker speaking system
F2.4 Motion improvements
