Role in GRAIL
Diehl Aviation primarily contributes use cases for technology validation within GRAIL. These include the assembly of aircraft toilet and water tank systems (potable, grey, and black water), which require safety-critical quality assurance and full traceability to meet aerospace certification requirements. The associated assembly processes involve complex tasks such as routing flexible hoses and inserting connectors, demanding multimodal instruction understanding, high-precision execution, and safe Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in a sensitive, low-volume, high-mix production environment.
