A new painting robot that sees and learns
FLUPOL is the first Portuguese company to adopt a robotic painting system that uses artificial vision to reproduce the movements performed by a specialised worker in a robot (industrial manipulator). This technology, developed by a Portuguese consortium, will spare skilled workers of repetitive manual tasks and minimise contact with aggressive environments (paints, solvents). By saving the eight years required to train a skilled worker, FLUPOL will accelerate the internationalisation of production units to Brazil.
