MICHELIN: A great step forward in tyre use-case

In the last months, Sigma’s team (now Clermont INP) and Michelin’s team have made great improvement. Thanks to a big integration work, we now have a first implementation of shape servoing, allowing the use to animate the dual arm tire building demonstration. The rubber parts alignment is good, and the focus will soon shift to…
