PaMiLoCELL – Project Development #MilestonesFrom robotic arm assembly to AI-powered material identification and sorting.

The PaMiLoCELL project is structured into five progressive development milestones:

#Milestone 01 – Robotic Arm & Basic Cell Assembly

• Complete the Annin Robotics AR4-MK5 mechanical assembly.
• Build the basic robotic cell structure.
• Install and configure the overhead 2D camera.
• Perform preliminary mechanical and electrical checks.

#Milestone 02 – AR4 Software & Motion Control

• Install and explore the latest AR4 control software.
• Learn robot programming, kinematics and motion control.
• Perform controlled tests of individual joints and basic robot movements.
• Verify positioning accuracy and repeatability.

#Milestone 03 – Electrical Control Panel & Functional Safety

• Assemble and wire the electrical control panel.
• Integrate the PLC, power supplies and control components.
• Install emergency stops, safety interlocks and safety relay.
• Verify and validate safety functions before automated operation.

#Milestone 04 – PLC Programming & Cell Automation

• Learn and configure the PLC programming environment.
• Develop control logic and operational sequences.
• Establish communication between PLC, robot controller and peripheral devices.
• Test interlocks, fault management and automated sequences.

#Milestone 05 – AI Vision, Sensor Fusion & Intelligent Sorting

• Integrate the 3D camera and additional material-identification sensors.
• Develop three interconnected functional layers:
• Sensory Layer: 2D/3D vision, data acquisition and material sensing.
• Cognitive Layer: AI-based object recognition, material classification and decision-making.
• Actuation Layer: Robot motion planning, gripping and sorting execution.
• Integrate and validate the complete perception-to-action workflow.

#First Application – Material Identification & Sorting

The initial objective is to demonstrate the automated identification, classification, picking and sorting of small waste objects using a robotic cell integrating industrial automation, AI vision and sensor fusion.

#Development approach: Build → Learn → Integrate → Test → Validate.
