Developer of advanced industrial automation systems and products Comau has announced it has joined ADRA – AI, Data and Robotics Association, which represents the private sector in the European Partnership (PPP) for Artificial Intelligence, Data and Robotics, within Horizon Europe.
“Comau shares with ADRA the commitment to create new development and innovation opportunities in the automation and robotics sector at European level, through digitalization and new technologies: by joining this association, we aim to contribute significantly to achieving these important common goals,“ says Ennio Chiatante, Head of Institutional Relations at Comau. By collaborating with ADRA, Comau will have an even more active role in the European discussion tables, which we believe are crucial to leading the future of the industrial system and the international market, bringing new ideas, advanced solutions and established expertise, built on more than 50 years of experience in multiple industrial sectors, both traditional and emerging“.
“I am pleased to welcome Comau as a new member of our association. Their global leadership in industrial robotics, combined with our European network of excellence in artificial intelligence, data and robotics, will significantly enhance the ability to define the European strategy for innovation in these crucial areas,“ explains Emanuela Girardi, President of ADRA. In particular, Comau’s contribution will be key to advancing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence applied to the industrial robotics industry and to maintaining Europe’s leadership in this strategic field. Together, we will be able to strengthen European international competitiveness and develop cutting-edge technologies that fully reflect European values such as reliability, human focus and environmental and social sustainability.
The company has already presented advanced solutions designed within funded activities. These include the European Flexible Battery Dismantling (Flex-BD) project, which has enabled the creation of a robotic system that automates the complete dismantling process for used electric car batteries, and Hyperflex, a mobile factory that facilitates and speeds up the assembly and installation of photovoltaic systems, directly on site.
