ARISE aims to realise a robotic platform that focuses on two crucial industrial sectors that can drive the European Green Deal progress, namely Energy and Agriculture. ARISE will be driven by the needs of Solar Panel installation and maintenance and the harvesting of hydroponic lettuce. It will be validated on five highly challenging Use Case Scenarios, including but not limited to, picking up and moving Solar Panels in collaboration with human workers, transplanting delicate lettuce pieces and repairing solar panel back-sheets with silicon-based sealants. This set of scenarios involves extremely diverse requirements in terms of long-sequence task accomplishment, complex, contact-rich manipulation and physical Human-Robot Interaction.
