About

Industrial robots become widely used in manufacturing. The complexity of production processes and products challenges the use of robots, so position-controlled robot systems and sensor systems sometimes reach their limits. The use of force-controlled or sensitive robot systems represents a possible solution. It reduces the measurement inaccuracies and large tolerances when implementing complex production tasks and does not require more precise information about the robot environment. Special sensor technology and selected control strategies enable sensitive robot systems to interact with their environment. This interaction can be implemented as force-controlled applications, that offer a high application potential in the industrial environment with regard to the automation of assembly and manufacturing processes. The external forces and torques are often determined computationally based on 1D sensors in each axis of the robot. A novel method for the processing of the measured data is a requisite to improve the accuracy of force-controlled applications based on a serial robot with integrated sensors.

Program

9:00 – 9:10

Introduction

prof. Pavel Václavek (CEITEC Brno University of Technology)

9:15 – 10:00

Research integrity in the European context

Prof. Pere Puigdomènech (Research Professor CSIC. CRAG. Barcelona. Spain. Member of the Science and Ethics Working Group ALLEA)

Scientific Integrity is essential for the development of scientific research, its quality and its credibility. For this reason, research organizations and individual scientists should be aware of the conditions that define the scientific endeavor. This is why codes of good scientific practices have been approved by University, scientific Centers, and funders of research. One example is the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity written by ALLEA and that has been adopted as a reference by the European Commission for its activities of research funding. The European Code includes guidelines of procedures that may be followed in cases of misconduct.

10:00 – 10:45

Causes, consequences and prevention of scientific misconduct

Dr. Tomaš Foltýnek (Masaryk University of Brno, Faculty of Informatics)

Academic integrity is often perceived as an effort aiming to prevent academic misconduct. Specifically, research integrity recognises three cardinal sins known as FFP: Fabrication, falsification, plagiarism. The lecture provides examples of specific cases and their consequences, namely for the trust in science. We will discuss the causes of academic misconduct and measures that research institutions may adopt to prevent misconduct. The lecture ends with the definition of academic integrity as a commitment to positive values and argues that integrity is an inherent part of research quality.

11:00 – 11:45

Questions of Ethics in Technology Transfer

Mgr. Matej Kliman (Legal and methodical consultancy in R&D funding, intellectual property management, technology transfer)

Technology transfer and Money. Financial and non-financial aspects in Technology Transfer. Which is more important? How much money should we ask for our technologies? Can tech transfer money corrupt science? Use of technology in Technological Transfer. What are the good and bad uses of Technologies. Should every research organisation have a Board of Ethics? How can we foresee and regulate Ethical aspects of tech-transfer?Technology transfer in COVID. How did Czech science do during COVID from ethical point of view? Examples where Czech science helped overcome the pandemic. How did public perception change over time?

Life Cycle Assessment:

Why is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) so important in developing new technologies or systems? How can it help us evaluate all the potential impacts of our decisions, not only on the environment itself?Are our solutions sustainable and will they meet the needs of future generations? What about „renewables-based energy systems” – are they really „green“ enough

TALK: Life Cycle Assesment (LCA): The Case of “Green” Energy Plants

Prof. Franco Zanini Elettra – Sincrotrone Trieste

It is an old motto that ‘You cannot manage what you cannot measure’, and it is therefore important that we have tools for assessing the sustainability of our choices when we develop solutions or systems that shall help us determine the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of our descendants to meet their needs in the next future.

As scientists, we must take a life cycle perspective when we want to assess the sustainability of the technologies that lie in front of us. Very often we face problem shifting where solutions that improve or solve a targeted problem unintentionally create new problems of environmental, economic or social nature somewhere else in the systems affected by our choice.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) shows all the potential impact of our choices, through the analysis of the whole life cycle of the system or product that is the object of the study and it covers a broad range of potential impacts for which it attempts to perform a quantitative assessment.

Scientists or science managers who develop decision support, or make decisions where sustainability is a concern, should understand the need to view the solutions in a life cycle perspective and to consider possible trade-offs between environmental impacts and between the three sustainability dimensions.

Renewable energy technologies are often improperly flagged as “green” in different media. However, this denomination often only holds when they are considered solely in their use stage and mainly in relation to climate change impacts. Renewables have important environmental impacts outside their use/operation stage, e.g. production. Therefore, when taking the whole life cycle of renewables-based energy systems, one may demonstrate that they are “greener” than fossil-based energy systems, but they are not free of any environmental impacts. In the second part of this talk we will consider this secondary, but important aspect of the life cycle of any energy generation system, from extraction of materials for construction to decommissioning and disposal of any power plant.

10:30 – 10:45 Coffee break

10:45 – 11:30

TALK: Sustainable Means Circular – Key Principles to Implement in the Accelerating Green Transition

Miroslav Londýn Start-up Consultant and Consultant for Business and Sustainability, JIC

Globally, our current economy is linear – when creating products, the approach is Take-Make-Use-Lose. We take materials and energy from our environment and manufacture products from them. The results are then sold to customers and when the life cycle ends, waste is generated. There are two main issues with this. It’s highly ineffective – lot of resources, money and value are getting lost in the process. The second one is that it’s very unsustainable – resources get depleted and we’re already running out of them, and the amount of unutilized waste is growing immensely.

The solution is transitioning to circular economy, where the created value and attained resources are used as effectively, and as long as possible. With respect to our environmental, social and economic needs. This means exploring new business models, stretching the lifetime of products, using waste as a resource, or taking advantage of digital technologies. Above all, it means great interdisciplinary cooperation and advancement of knowledge and innovation. Science and engineering, as well as public sector and local communities, play a crucial role in this.

11:30 – 12:15

TALK: Eco-design and Innovative Materials as a Way to Sustainable Products

Eliška Knotková CEO, Eco-Design Studio Balance is Motion

Ecodesign can be defined as the systematic consideration of the environmental aspect during product design and development. The goal is to create solutions whose environmental impacts are as small as possible across the entire life cycle of a given product. At the same time, the environmental factor must be balanced with functional, technological, aesthetic and economic aspects. The lecture will present possible strategies and principles that can be applied in ecodesign – such as modularity, biomimicry, design for repairability, emotional durability and more.

The materials used can significantly affect the environmental impacts associated with the entire life cycle of products. Through the choice of optimal materials, it is possible to highlight not only the functionality, price, visual and haptic qualities, but also the durability of the product and its potential circularity.

Breakout sessions

Trustworthy AI in Future ManufacturingWith this session, we would like to initially define the strategic challenges and derive relevant major topics and industrial applications where it is critical that the AI is trustworthy.Federated Learning for Future ManufacturingThis session addresses the challenge of training AI models without giving up data sovereignty. What are approaches to share models instead of data?Human-Robot and Human-Machine Interaction in Manufacturing ProcessesThis session aims to identify ways to realise partly automated processes or to stabilise highly automated processes through smart dialogue systems that incorporate and combine a plethora of different interaction methods in Human-Robot or Humane- Machine interaction.Optimizing assembly componentsOperators often struggle in finding the best combination of groups of parts before the assembly based on their experience. This session is about simulation approaches to find the best combination of groups of parts before the assembly.Retrofitting of AIWe bring a lot of AI into the production processes as well as machines. But how will AI react in the future react when new sensors will be included, new machinery being brought in or if software upgrades are getting installed? Will there arise a need to retrofit or updated everything?AI in product developmentThis breakout session deals with the use of Data for development and construction of products by adjusting materials, measurements according to the need and best results from the manufacturing processes, e.g., to enhance the design of products.Smart Manufacturing for Space ApplicationsThis breakout session focuses on the challenges and opportunities for AI that arise in manufacturing in the context of Space exploration and Earth observation.

We invite the community to suggest further topics of interest for the breakout sessions. Please use the online application form for your suggestions.

AI in Digital FactoriesAI-intensive systems share a lot of data, whilst their algorithms consume data, build models and use these models to produce new data. AI thrives the need for trusted, interoperable data spaces as it enables new forms of business and research opportunities.Industrial applications of Explainable AI AI-intensive systems share a lot of data, whilst their algorithms consume data, build models and use these models to produce new data. AI thrives the need for trusted, interoperable data spaces as it enables new forms of business and research opportunities.Optimization and Machine Learning for Better Manufacturing ProcessesThis breakout session will discuss what the obstacles and challenges for the implementation of advanced methods combining Optimisation and Machine Learning in manufacturing companies are.Zero Defect ManufacturingThis breakout session deals with AI technology methods like data-based modelling to detect out-of-control (OOC) states in classical Statistical Process Control (SPC) from in- process data enabling continuous monitoring and earlier detection of problems with a simultaneous reduction or near elimination of expensive post-process quality inspection.Psychological approach for data labellingThis breakout session will discuss sustainable approaches in combining psychology with elements of labelling technologies to ensure high data quality (standardization) which is needed to apply AI in manufacturing.Reality independent AIThis breakout session will address the question of how the potential of digital twins with synthetic data can be uncovered in image data (e.g. for AI quality inspection or object recognition) for manufacturing.Democratising AIThe aim of this breakout session is to uncover who is already able to use AI in manufacturing and whether only large companies or also smaller companies benefit from the use of AI and if both parties also benefit from each other and exchange knowledge?

Theme Development Workshops cut across multiple ICT-48 Networks of AI Excellence Centres while bringing together researchers, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to identify industry trends and needs and match these to AI capabilities in Europe.

University of Berkeley

Bio
Ruzena Bajcsy is the NEC Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. She was the founding director of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) in 2001.

Before joining UC Berkeley, she headed the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation (1999–2001).

From 1972 to 2001, she was a professor in the Computer and Information Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania, where she established in 1978 the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Lab.

Throughout her 28 years at UPenn, she worked on robotics research, including computer vision, tactile perception, and in general the problem of system identification. She also worked on medical imaging, and developed with her students a digital anatomy atlas coupled with elastic matching algorithms that made it possible to automatically identify anatomic structures of the brain, first in X-ray tomography, later with MRI and positron image tomography. Use of this technology is now standard in medical practice.

Dr. Bajcsy is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (1997) and National Academy of Medicine (1995) as well as a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). In 2001 she received the ACM/AAAI Allen Newell Award, and in November 2002 she was named one of the 50 most important women in Discover Magazine. She is the recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Medal for Computer and Cognitive Sciences (2009) and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Award (2013) for her contributions in the field of robotics and automation.

Her current research is in the use of robotic technology, namely measuring and extracting noninvasively kinematic and dynamic parameters of individual in order to assess their physical movement capabilities or limitations. If there are limitations, her students have designed assistive devices that can compensate for the lack of kinematic agility and /or physical strength.

Researchers’ Night 2022 at Testbed for Industry 4.0: With all THE SENSES
2022-09-30 17:00 - 22:30
Researchers’ Night 2022 – an event that, for one evening, brings life to hundreds of science buildings that no ordinary mortal can enter. Visitors pass through laboratories and lecture halls, experience exploding experiments, and learn about hot topics in depth. Everyone with a passion for science – children, adults, and seniors – is welcome. Meet our scientists and they will teach you to love science.Researchers’ Night was initiated by the European Commission in 2005 and its mission is to show that science is not boring, but on the contrary is a source of interesting and fascinating phenomena.

One day a year, universities, research and development centres, science centres, and other places open with free guided tours, popular education presentations, workshops, experiments, science shows, music, and performances, amongst others, taking place. The aim of Researchers’ Night is to dispel myths about scientists as people locked in laboratories and to show the general public that they are “ordinary people” who do work for each of us, they can present it in an engaging way, and they can also have a good time.

There are many interesting things to explore during Researchers’ Night 2022 at RICAIP Testbed for Industry 4.0 at CIIRC CTU:

At the coffee machine station, you will be able to try out the various smart devices – order coffee from your phone, tablet, watch or even by voice command. You will taste and compare different types of coffee, we will offer cocoa or hot milk foam for the kids and you can also compete with us.

2/ Robobar
Robots that can tap beer like a skilled bartender. You can also order lemonades, coffee, alcoholic and mixed drinks. All you have to do is enter your request via the ordering tablet and remember your order number.

In addition to the two collaborative robots, the Robobar in Testbed for Industry 4.0 also uses the functions of other devices, including a liquor conveyor, fruit feeders, an ice feeder and more. It’s all connected via a common industrial communications platform.

3/ Virtual Tour at Testbed for Industry 4.0
Testbed for Industry 4.0, in which you are located, is also available in virtual form. You can explore the Testbed in both real and virtual reality and compare the differences between the two worlds.

Individual work cells, production lines and robotic workplaces are presented. In addition, technological functions for measuring, drawing, repositioning and more are demonstrated in virtual reality, all in 3D.

4/ Play checkers with a robot
Industrial robots can be fun! Do you dare to test your knowledge in a game like checkers against a robot that is programmed to predict the state of the gameboard for up to 9 moves ahead?

You can experience the interaction with an industrial robot and compare your strength in checkers with the algorithms of artificial intelligence by choosing between three difficulty levels.

5/ ABB Robotic Line
The workplace incorporates several technologies that contribute to flexible production. The conveyor trolleys are controlled independently of each other, allowing their movement to be adapted to the needs of the specific product they are transporting. In addition, it is possible to synchronise the movement of the trolley with that of the robot, allowing the robot to manipulate the part on the trolley without the trolley having to stop. The collaborative robot, which is part of the workstation, offers the flexibility to work with a human on a specific assembly operation and can react to the actual conditions and characteristics of the part being handled.

6/ Robotic 3D printing and precise measurement
Universal robotic workstation for 3D printing and precise measurement with the “Laser tracker”. We also have a digital model of the workplace, the so-called digital twin, used for simulating the 3D printing process, verifying paths and collisions. Using a touch probe that is connected to the laser tracker and the robot, we perform automatic calibration of the robot’s work table. During the 3D printing process, the position of the printing nozzle can be corrected by a corner reflector due to feedback from the laser tracker.

7/ Pick & Place Robot
Using artificial intelligence, the Pick & Place robot processes data through sensors and cameras to detect paper packages of Lego bricks. It autonomously detects the exact location in 3D space and plans the robot’s trajectory. Based on the classification, it selects packages of different sizes and sorts them into boxes. This robot can be used to automate logistics operations in manufacturing.

8/ Flexible Robotic Line
The core of Testbed for Industry 4.0 is an experimental robotic line with a conveyor. It is used to test the possibilities of so-called flexible distributed production. Customers can configure what they want their car to look like and the machines will build it for them. A flexible robotic line is a scaled-down model that allows easy assembly of customised products using automated planning methods. Small batches of products can be produced as well as piece production.

9/ Montrac Cybertech
Only few people realise that robots in production, such as those that quickly and flawlessly assemble a car every day, are precisely programmed and any deviation leads to a halt in production. The position of the part to be picked up by the robot is always fixed and precise. If a rack shifts or a part is not in the exact location, then an error will occur and the line will stop. Therefore, we will add a camera to the robot and it will be possible to take any part from the rack, regardless of the location of not only the rack but also the parts themselves.

10/ Delta robot with conveyor and manual guidance
Delta robots are used for applications where fast operations are required. This demonstrator is equipped with a conveyor whose pallets can be precisely tracked and the robot’s movements can be synchronized with those of the pallets. The robot can be equipped with a handle to perform what is called a “manual guide” to learn the trajectories to be performed during normal operations. It operates on an industrial 5G network and enables fast transmission of large amounts of data. Therefore, the integration of a neural network and computer vision could be implemented in the robot system.

Industrial 5G network

5G has a big potential in the industry. Such a network will be located in our exhibition. Thanks to the cooperation of the RICAIP Testbed for Industry 4.0 at the CIIRC CTU and T-Mobile, the data obtained from robots will be processed and visualized in real-time via the 5G network, whether it is camera data, video for virtual or augmented reality, consumption energy or other quantities. The state-of-the-art private mobile network is 5G SA built on the Ericsson platform. Part of our 5G network is a quality monitoring and compliance with SLAs while monitoring parameters and simulating communication, e.g. AGV. The sample infrastructure includes the Edge cloud used for machine image recognition and AR/VR.

Hand Guide Robot

A collaborative robot in a 5G network environment. The robot can be positioned in impedance mode – by a pressure you put on its final position. The robot is equipped with a handle mounted on its flange. A camera with a computer and a 5G modem is installed in the handle. The robot was created in the Testbed for Industry 4.0 at CIIRC CTU. The camera scans the space under the robot. It transmits the image via the 5G network to the edge server, where AI algorithms analyse the image in real-time for object localization. The server sends information about the position of objects back to the robot via the 5G network. The robot uses this information to help the person during manual guidance.

Mobile Robobar

Can a robot draft beer? The RICAIP Testbed for Industry 4.0 team, in cooperation with Plzeňský Prazdroj, has been dedicated to digitization in gastronomy. The energy consumption required for cooling a given volume of draft beer will be monitored through a data collection device and its transfer to a database, which was developed to measure just this type of application. The database application enables not only the display of current values and historical trends, but also the creation of behavior models, a digital twin and estimation of the causes of possible deterioration of energy efficiency during operation. And of course there will be a beer tasting.
