The potential of robots in future production sites

The term robot refers to program-controlled, partly mobile machines for flexible handling and assembly processes. The designs range from simple transport trolleys to cognitive humanoid robots, some of which can map quite complex process chains. This deep dive provides an overview of current robot systems and their preferred applications. It also looks at how the development of robotic systems works and what options are available when using this technology. For the realization of robot-supported assembly cells, sensors, peripheral devices and controllers are required that meet the requirements and in which AI-based methods for efficient operation, such as error avoidance strategies, are used. This design process is presented using examples.

We look forward to exciting input from the following speakers:
