TALOS – Mobile robots orchestration

Artificial intelligence to reconfigure high-mix, low-volume production
Use case

TALOS

Artificial intelligence solution for the dynamic reconfiguration of an assembly line using AMR robots (Eureka System’s Helko robot).

TALOS, acronym for Transformable Adaptive Lines Optimized System, is a manufacturing platform designed to make assembly lines dynamic, flexible, and intelligent – overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed workstations.

In the pilot project carried out by Elif Lab and Eureka System, the HMLV (High-Mix Low-Volume) assembly line includes:

  • mobile workbenches autonomously moved by Helko AMRs,

  • a production logic managed by an AI-based planner,

  • full integration with existing IT/OT systems.

Thanks to this adaptive infrastructure, the entire line can be reconfigured in real time according to incoming orders, boosting both flexibility and efficiency.

Implemented algorithms:

Production optimisation

Production scheduling and optimisation based on sales orders

Dynamic line reconfiguration

Movement and coordination of the robot fleet within the workspace for optimal dynamic line reconfiguration

TALOS uses Bayesian models and constrained scheduling algorithms to:

  • optimize the production sequence,

  • balance workloads across mobile workbenches,

  • dynamically define AMR Helko routes based on operational priorities.

The result is a truly adaptive system that integrates robotics, AI, and industrial systems to meet the demands of Industry 5.0.

The TALOS project has indirectly received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation action programme, via the EARASHI Open Call #2 issued and executed under the EARASHI project (Grant Agreement no. 101069994).
