Project abstract
Co-funded by the MIMIT (Italian Ministry of Innovation’s research and development), the A.R.T.O. project focuses on optimizing the integration testing of complex systems, particularly within the aerospace industry, by leveraging robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
In response to challenges like increased competition, system complexity, and the need for faster market delivery, A.R.T.O. automates repetitive, low-value tasks traditionally carried out by engineers, allowing them to focus on higher-value activities. This results in reduced human error and increased testing efficiency. A.R.T.O. operates 24/7, improving asset utilization and overall testing processes. The system integrates collaborative robotics with AI-driven computer vision to ensure high-quality testing and greater efficiency in safety-critical environments, such as aircraft and helicopter cockpits.
Key activities include creating a digital twin for testing, developing AI algorithms for system analysis, and building a robotic arm for hands-on testing. The system will also feature real-time monitoring and result collection, providing engineers with enhanced control and flexibility. Through its modular and scalable design, A.R.T.O. will help improve the overall quality and safety of aerospace systems while reducing operational costs and testing time.
