NAME CHARLIE (Collaborative Hybrid Autonomous Robot for Lean Industrial Environments)

The CHARLIE robot is an integration of an AMR (autonomous mobile robot) and an industrial manipulator robot. Thus, it is able to move through the work area in a collaborative way without renouncing the high productive capacity in the handling tasks. It is controlled via a high-level OPC-UA gateway. CHARLIE is a step forward in unattended manufacturing through the loading and unloading of parts.
