Ultra-precision machining is the ultimate in manufacturing technology – it hardly gets any more accurate than this.

The first draft rarely is the final one in product development. With the help of artificial intelligence, this labor-intensive but essential stage can be accelerated.

Artificial intelligence is one of the key drivers in product creation today. A new online platform’s claim is to make it more accessible for SMEs.

Staying competitive in space is only possible with sustainable and economical launch vehicles.

A flexible robot system and an autonomous vehicle all in one: The Tend-O-Bot eliminates the need for rigid automation solutions in production. However, this can only be achieved with a change of perspective.

Intelligent decision support systems can help prevent sudden major disruptions caused by absences.

Within the framework of the research project BioFusion 4.0, data-driven solutions for a more sustainable and resource-efficient production are being developed at Fraunhofer IPK – inspired by principles from nature.

Auction catalogs are an important source for historians and provenance researchers for clearly identifying artworks. AI-based image search algorithms could soon help them.

The members of this panel discussion are working together with other partners – including research institutions, corporations and start-ups – on the Biological Transformation of industrial manufacturing in the large-scale project »BioFusion 4.0«. Read their thoughts about how environmental impacts are operationalized and measured in the project and how people can be made aware of the issue .

»Workerbot 1« was the name of the first robot developed by the Berlinbased company pi4_robotics in 2010. Today, the 8th generation of Workerbots support industrial companies in handling, assembly and inspection, but the humanoid helpers are also used for building monitoring, concierge services, catering or the care sector. Founder and CEO Matthias Krinke explains in this interview with FUTUR that good technology needs emotions – especially when humans and machines work together.
