Project period: 1 July 2025 – 1 July 2026 • Funded under the MAGICIAN Open Call, Horizon Europe GA 101120731
ARRAS will add an intelligent burr‑grinding capability to today’s body‑in‑white lines. A polarized‑vision camera scans raw steel panels, and a lightweight transformer network instantly classifies residual weld beads that could spoil downstream sealing and paint. Coordinates are streamed to a compliant, low‑vibration robotic grinder—mounted on the plant’s existing 6‑axis arms—which removes each burr to within 0.1 mm of nominal in less than 30 seconds while active force control maintains ISO 10218 safety limits. The twelve‑month work‑plan covers mechanical prototyping of the grinder spindle and dust shroud, creation of a 3 000‑image weld‑burr dataset, training and optimisation of the detection AI, and a pilot installation on a European OEM’s welding line. By eliminating manual angle‑grinding, ARRAS raises first‑pass yield, shortens re‑work loops, and improves operator ergonomics. The project is delivered by Ada Guzey Engineering with support from MAGICIAN partners and is co‑financed through the Horizon Europe framework, demonstrating how focused cascaded funding can turn lab innovation into factory‑ready automation.
