PICK-PLACE: Flexible, safe and dependable robotic part-handling in industrial environments
PICK-PLACE focuses on flexible, safe and dependable robotic-part handling in industrial environments.

The project emerges from the lack of available solutions that answer the industry’s need to manipulate parts with high variability (in terms of size, shape or weight) or to do so in less structured environments. In response to this challenge, PICK-PLACE proposes a multifunctional and flexible approach, combining human and robot capabilities.

At this stage of the project, we would like to gather the perspective of industrial companies. If you work for a company that offers handling solutions or deals with intra-logistics, please answer the following questionnaire. Answering the survey will take 15 minutes and we will only use your email address to send you the most relevant conclusions of our research.
