foundaTion mOdels for Robots that haNdle smAll, soft and Deformable Objects | TORNADO — Project 101189557 — HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01
Funded by the European Union, TORNADO is developing a next-generation cloud robotics platform that empowers autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to operate in complex, human-populated indoor environments. These intelligent robots will feature advanced navigation, adapt in real time, and handle small, soft, and deformable objects with exceptional precision.
TORNADO combines cutting-edge AI, deep neural foundation models, and augmented reality to enable intuitive interaction through voice and gestures. The system learns continuously through real-world feedback and supports rapid adaptation, even in unforeseen situations, making it ideal for non-repetitive, high-variability tasks.
TORNADO is working to validate use cases in a gears factory, hospital environment, and plant distribution center, paving the way for safe, efficient, and human-aware integration of robotics into everyday settings.
Project implementation:
- NSBproject leads the project’s dissemination and communication efforts, including the creation and management of the web presence and outreach activities.
- It supports the implementation of pilots by aligning research & technical goals with end users’ needs.
- Additionally, NSBproject leverages its predictive matching system to facilitate connections between solution providers and end-users within the project’s ecosystem.
