Abstract

This work presents a new developed robotic system to automate the demoulding task in the toy manufacturing industry, which is typically labor-intensive and potentially hazardous for human operators. While automation has become common in industries like automotive and food, traditional sectors like toy manufacturing have lagged behind. The system utilizes specialized machinery for the toy production, cameras, actuators, and a vision-based algorithm, along with a collaborative robot capable of handling soft and flexible plastic pieces during demoulding. By implementing this system, the physical stress and potential injuries to human operators are reduced, enabling them to focus on tasks with higher dexterity requirements or reallocating them to less physically demanding sub-tasks. The development of this collaborative robotic system enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of thedemoulding process, while allowing human operators to contribute in other industrial tasks.
