Demo factory for virtual and physical human-robot collaboration

The focus of the demo factory for virtual and physical human-robot collaboration is to sensitize industrial companies to the concepts of Industry 4.0 and interaction with robots.

In this lab, feasibility studies are carried out and new technologies and training cells are tested. The central components include AI-based expert systems and intelligent assistance systems. Intelligent workstations for disassembly purposes are also being developed to enable behavior prediction in industry.

In addition, human-robot interaction with humanoid robots is being intensively researched.
