ROBIN: Open Process Intelligence Core

Overview¶

ROBIN provides two reusable open-source modules and a documented integration pattern for robotic process intelligence:

Module 1 - Process Intelligence API (robin/): FastAPI service for process lifecycle management, deviation detection, and AI-assisted recommendations over FIWARE/NGSI-LD data.
Module 2 - Monitoring Dashboard (robin-dashboard/): Configurable React operator dashboard for live monitoring, alerts, and AI model management.
Integration pattern - ROS 2 to FIWARE: A telemetry aggregator node, message schema, and DDS mapping config that connect any ROS 2 robot to the FIWARE data layer via Orion-LD’s built-in DDS bridge.

The components are domain-agnostic: they work for welding, spray coating, machining, or any robotic manufacturing process.

Example Applications¶

The repository includes demo profiles that compose the modules into working stacks for different industrial domains:

Welding (reference): python demo/profiles/welding_profile.py --mode both
Spray Coating: ROBIN_PROFILE=spray_coating docker compose up -d then python demo/profiles/spray_coating_profile.py --mode both

Each demo waits for you to press Start from the dashboard before streaming data. No module code is modified when switching domains. See demo/profiles/README.md for the full comparison.

Target Readiness Level¶

Current Status: FIWARE data layer and DDS telemetry ingestion validated in lab setup. Target Readiness Level: TRL4, moving toward TRL6 with production-grade deployment and broader adapter coverage.
