(TU Delft Mechatronic Design; RWTH Aachen University) Berglund, Åsa Fasth (Chalmers University of Technology) Netten, M.P. (TU Delft Valorisatieteam IO) Rusak, Z. (TU Delft Internet of Things) Stahre, Johan (Chalmers University of Technology) Date 2021 Abstract Bicycle production has not changed much over the last 100 years, it is still performed mainly by manual labor in mass production. During the global pandemic, the demand for ecologically friendly and customized transport has increased. Hence, customers start to impose the same requirements on bikes as on cars: they want more customized products and short delivery time. This publication describes an approach to transform bicycle manufacturing towards human-robot co-production to enable smaller batch sizes and production on-shoring. We list the challenges of this transformation, our applied methods, and presents preliminary results of the cobot-driven prototypes.
