Multi-Modal and Multi-Aspect Holistic Human-Robot Interaction - Project funded by the European Commission (GA 101135707)

FORTIS is an EU-funded project that aims to provide a solution for enabling robots to interact with humans in a human-like way for long periods.

The consortium is composed by 12 partners with different backgrounds:

• academic (Tecnalia, Tampere University, CSIC, FbK);
• technological (Ingeniarius, Robotnik, XLab);
• consultancy (Factor Social, F6S);
• industrial (Garcia, VIAS, Beko-Arçelik).

Therefore, the main objectives are:

• Develop, integrate, and provide an human-centric solution for modeling and analyzing humans.
• Develop and provide a flexible and agile multi-robotic-centric solution interacting with humans.
• Integrate and provide the FORTIS solution where a safe and trustworthy Human-Robot interaction is guaranteed and provides optimized operations for both humans and robots.
• Demonstrate the solution for industrial pilots in construction, maintenance and logistics.

As an end-user, Garcia is part of the testbed for Pilot 1 in construction exploring human-robot interaction with two use cases:

• material transport using loader or telehandler;
• sandwich panel assembly using telehandler.
