Mass-customized shoe production - A highly reconfigurable robotic device for handling limp material

摘要

EUROShoE is one of the largest projects funded by the European Commision within the Growth Program. It considers all aspects of the customized, life-cycle production of shoes. To date, the project has purposely conceived, analyzed, designed, and created a dexterous reconfigurable modular robotic device. It utilizes the innovative picking module, which overcomes the faults that traditional vacuum suckers show in the examined area.
