Cobotic Induction System for automated garments sorting

About the project

Bring to market a collaborative robotic system that sorts a mixture and randomly arranged garment packages.

Purpose of the project

Develop a collaborative robotic induction solution powered by machine learning models able to identify garments and grasp them for subsequent partition.

Societal impact

Push the garment market toward a sustainable economy by means of circular and green actions enabled by a novel human inclusive system for effective management of new, returned or used clothing.

Main results & insights

Development of (i) machine learning models able to recognize the location of randomly arranged garments in baskets or trolley and (ii) a grasping equipment that gently grabs the garments
