At the plant of FPT Industrial Driveline in Turin, which produces transmissions and axles for heavy equipment, can be found a new Advanced Use Robotic Arm (AURA). Dedicated to assembling axle spindles, AURA is a robot designed and built by Comau and used in the HuManS (Human-centered Manufacturing System) project, which places humans at the centre of the production system, surrounded by machinery that helps and shares the space with them in complete safety. Almost 3 m high and weighing about 3 tonnes, AURA is a collaborative industrial robot that works alongside humans, without barriers.
