The first segment\, lasting 30 minutes\, provides a Quick Guide for Siemens Tecnomatix (Software User Interface and basic function). This guide explains how to build a virtual environment for robotic simulation applications in welding\, deburring\, and painting. The second segment\, lasting 60 minutes\, involves robot path planning based on the manufacturing geometry for welding\, polishing and painting processes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Schwartz \n\n\n\nDFKI \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobotics-Lab Tour\nIn this tour\, we will show you around in our german-Czech Innovation Lab for Human-Robot Collaboration in Industrie 4.0\, or MRK 4.0 Lab for short. As the name implies\, we focus on Human-Robot Collaboration. In extension we also deal with human-robot communication\, the orchestration of hybrid teams (i.e. teams consisting of humans\, robots and software agents) and practical applications of Industrial AI\, Asset Administration Shells\, Digital Twins and general Industrie 4.0 topics. Human-Robot communication is not necessarily limited to spoken or written language\, but includes all sorts of modalities: from more traditional control units\, over manual teach-in to Augmented and Virtual Reality etc. We will show you practical examples from different projects\, we are currently working on or have been working on in the past\, encouraging questions and discussions throughout the whole experience.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMartin Suda \n\n\n\nCIIRC CTU \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPowering Logic-Based Reasoning with Machine Learning and Vice Versa?\nWe will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art technology in logic-based reasoning\, ranging from propositional satisfiability and satisfibility modulo theories to automatic and interactive theorem proving. The corresponding tools\, often referred to as “solvers”\, find many applications in areas such as hardware verification (chip design)\, software verification (program correctness) or automation of math. We will also discuss how machine learning and\, in particular\, neural networks enter the picture of the development of such solvers\, able to automatically help discover new guidance heurstics\, so necessary for fighting the inherent combinatorial explosion. Finally\, we will also contemplate the opposite direction for field synergy: Couldn’t logic-based tools help us eliminate errors from neural networks’ outputs\, most notably guard as against LLM hallucinations? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos from the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\nIDESSAI 2024 is planned as a fully in-person event\, which will take place at the University of Saarland.

Come see how robotic navigation and advanced technologies are reshaping our future and find out what else awaits us in this field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransformation in Nature – Measuring Radioactive DecayCome try measuring and detecting the radioactive transformation of one isotope into another. During this activity\, we will focus on the natural radioactive decay of isotopes that we can commonly find around us—at home\, in the garden\, or even in the forest. Our experts will show you how these isotopes are measured and what they tell us about the natural processes occurring all around us. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect? \n\n\n\n\nMeasurement and detection of the radioactive decay of naturally occurring isotopes\n\n\n\nInteresting demonstrations of where we can find these isotopes\n\n\n\nExplanation of the principle of radioactive transformation and its significance in the natural sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAging SuitTransformation is one of the most important processes that each of us undergoes. Whether it involves physical changes\, psychological growth\, or gaining new experiences\, transformation is an inseparable part of our lives. This year’s Night of Scientists\, themed “Transformation\,” will focus on various aspects of this journey of the human body. One of the main activities that you definitely shouldn’t miss is the “Aging Suit.” \n\n\n\nWhat is the “Aging Suit”?The “Aging Suit” is a unique simulator that allows you to experience what it is like to have the body of an older person. Specially designed clothing and devices will help you better understand the physical limitations and challenges that older individuals face daily. This experience will provide you with a deeper insight into the aging process and allow you to experience transformation firsthand. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobobar at RICAIP Testbed Prague – Transformation in Gastronomy – Try Our Robotic BarAs part of our activity\, you can personally experience what it’s like to be served by a robot. Our ROBOBAR will prepare drinks and dispense non-alcoholic beer without any human intervention. You have a unique opportunity to evaluate whether this transformation in gastronomy will become a reality in the near future. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect? \n\n\n\n\nExperience being served by a robotic bar\n\n\n\nOpportunity to reflect on where humans can be replaced by robots\n\n\n\nDiscussion about current and future trends in automation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTetris Evolutionary Algorithms – Come Play a Game with UsAre you interested in the mysteries of artificial intelligence and would like to see how advanced algorithms can solve complex problems?

By connecting with a network of partners\, we bring new benefits to our clients\, creating a rich ecosystem of expertise and knowledge. This message is something we aim to convey through several dozen square meters of our booth at International Industrial Fair. Together\, we offer innovative solutions that surpass the capabilities of individual partners\, technology suppliers\, and equipment providers. Our customers gain a clear vision of how to tackle their challenges\, which may vary in complexity. At the end of this journey lies the tangible advantage of implementing innovations\, improving processes\, or taking a significant step forward in digitalization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur teams at CIIRC CTU have developed the booth’s technological concept\, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with the slogan “Better through Cooperation.” The Industry 4.0 demonstrations will showcase various partners from the commercial and academic spheres working together. We aim to introduce our testbed to potential new partners and clients as a place\, a platform\, where different entities\, ideas\, and opportunities converge\, turning into concrete solutions for the Czech industry. \n\n\n\nYou will see a range of new technological demonstrations for industrial robotics\, flexible manufacturing\, 5G IoT\, and more. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage in direct consultations with our experts and experience some technologies firsthand by participating in interactive workshops. \n\n\n\n\n\nOn three separate robotic cells\, connected via a data collection and analysis system\, you will be able to observe energy and data flows in real-time. This is made possible through a compact 5G IoT modular system\, which integrates energy consumption data across the entire exhibition. The transmission takes place via a 5G SA private campus network\, including continuous monitoring of 5G signal quality. For battery-powered IoT devices\, we will present a new concept of a compact flow meter for measuring water consumption using NB IoT communication technology. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat you will see at the booth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlexible Modular Robotic Cell: Retrofitting Battery Modules \n\n\n\nThis is a scaled-down model of an autonomous modular factory that adapts to changing production conditions. In just a few square meters\, we demonstrate the key principles of modern\, flexible\, and sustainable manufacturing of the 21st century. We combine cutting-edge technologies and processes: intelligent collaborative robotics\, data communication via a 5G network\, edge computing\, AI algorithms\, computer vision\, and autonomous control. All this is showcased through two KUKA collaborative robots that\, without human intervention\, exchange components and perform retrofitting on used battery modules\, demonstrated on a scaled model of an electric vehicle battery. In real applications\, these battery modules can continue to serve as large-capacity stationary batteries for homes or businesses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the Flexible Modular Robotic Cell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndustrial Metaverse: Autonomous Manipulation Robotic Cell \n\n\n\nThe industrial metaverse is essentially an extended virtual reality that allows for the creation of a digital twin of a physical factory\, machines\, and products. It enables optimization of production processes\, acceleration of product development\, and enhanced collaboration between teams and robots. We demonstrate its potential with an autonomous manipulation robotic cell featuring a KUKA robot\, performing precise pick-and-place operations\, driven by advanced 6D position estimation using computer vision. The cell is virtually operated in Siemens’ Tecnomatix Process Simulate with integration into Nvidia Omniverse\, allowing AI model training for object recognition and manipulation\, and automated generation of end effectors through 3D printing. It’s also available in VR. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the Industrial Metaverse\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustainable Manufacturing: 5G IIoT and Machine Data Collection for Energy Consumption Monitoring \n\n\n\nData is all around us\, but how can we collect\, analyze\, and use it to boost manufacturing efficiency\, reduce costs\, and enhance sustainability? At our stand\, you’ll see this in real-time thanks to a compact modular 5G IIoT system\, integrating energy consumption data across our entire display. Data transmission occurs over a 5G SA private campus network\, with continuous monitoring of the 5G signal quality. A new feature is the NB IoT technology for water consumption measurement using a compact flowmeter\, ideal for battery-powered devices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about 5G IIoT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobotic Beer Dispenser 2.0 \n\n\n\nOur new Robotic Beer Dispenser 2.0 is fully automated and ready for continuous\, unattended operation.

SUMMARY:RICAIP at Hannover Messe 2025
DESCRIPTION:Part of the DFKI Booth | Hall 2\, Stand B32 \n\n\n\nHannover Messe is one of the largest and most important international trade fairs focused on industrial technology. Held annually in Hannover\, Germany\, it attracts thousands of visitors and exhibitors from around the world. The fair showcases innovations and trends in areas such as automation\, digital manufacturing\, artificial intelligence\, energy solutions\, industrial robotics\, and other key technologies shaping the future of industry. It is an ideal platform for networking\, exchanging knowledge\, and presenting new products and technologies. Participants\, ranging from small startups to global corporations\, have the opportunity to establish business connections and gain insights into the latest developments in the industrial sector. \n\n\n\nAt Hannover Messe 2025\, RICAIP will present a fully functional demonstrator showcasing the fundamental principles of flexible production using a miniaturized manufacturing cell as a part of the DFKI Booth at Hall 2\, Stand B32. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our demonstrator\n\n\n\nAbout RICAIP Testbed Prague\n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nLearn more at DFKI website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAI for Automated Modular Production: Cooperative robotic production cell for modular retrofitting\n\n\n\n\n\nTo stay competitive in dynamic markets\, manufacturing companies must adapt flexibly to changing production conditions and objectives. Modular manufacturing concepts enable the production process to be divided into individual\, automated production steps without manual programming or configuration. \n\n\n\nThe European research project RICAIP (Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production) introduces a fully functional demonstrator that shows the fundamental principles of flexible production using a miniaturized production cell. The cooperative system\, which consists of two KUKA robots – one stationary and one mobile – autonomously dismantles various types of electric batteries\, replaces specific components\, and assembles still-usable battery modules into new units. These can be repurposed as large stationary batteries for households or businesses\, for example. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe demonstrator combines various AI technologies\, such as machine learning and computer vision\, with collaborative robotics\, network communication\, edge computing\, and classic automation technology. The centerpiece is the automatic planner\, developed by project partner CIIRC at the Czech Technical University in Prague. The planning software compares available resources with the machine functions and independently creates the production sequence – without manual programming or configuration. Moreover\, the planner is integrated in an industrial Manufacturing Execution System developed and operated by T-Mobile. \n\n\n\nThe modular structure of the robotic production cell\, the seamless integration of individual production machines\, and the dynamic\, machine-based rescheduling of production steps make this concept unique. The demonstrator serves as proof of concept for the automated retrofitting of multi-component products and can be transferred to different product types. \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Researchers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPavel HradeckýTeam Leader\, Researcher RICAIP Testbed PragueCIIRC CTU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJiří ŠtefanResearcher RICAIP Testbed PragueCIIRC CTU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRICAIP Testbed for Industry 4.0\n\n\n\n\n\nTestbed is an experimental infrastructure of the RICAIP Industrial Testbed Core.
