Transformation of data into information
2021-04-14 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
We learned from the directors of Czech manufacturing companies that they are currently most interested in working with data in the field of digitalization of production. Mainly, in the ability to read the data correctly and use it for effective managerial decision-making.

If you are also interested in the topic, join the professional seminar

Digitization of Production – Transformation of Data into Information.

Wednesday, 14 April 2021, 14:00 – 16:00

You can join the seminar and discuss online via MS Teams at this link: https://bit.ly/39W5AOA.

The seminar will be held in Czech language only.

Experts from the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics, CTU in Prague (CIIRC CTU) will present how CIIRC CTU helps companies in their efforts to use digitization tools to streamline the operation of their company.

The seminar is organized by CIIRC CTU in cooperation with the National Center for Industry 4.0 (NCP4.0) within the “DIH Community Days” of the DIH-World project. The topics are the subject of a solution in the Prague Testbed for Industry 4.0, which is part of the international center of excellence RICAIP, within the EIT Manufacturing and Cluster 4.0 projects.

International initiative for secure sharing of industrial data

Lubomír Kristek will present an independent expert methodology that will enable companies to analyze the level of maturity from the point of view of process digitization and established technology. Explain important aspects for the choice of the final solution, which will be feasible in practice and economically advantageous. It will point out the most common mistakes made by manufacturing companies in the implementation of digital technologies in practice.

Pavel Burget and Petr Kolář will present how in practice companies can test data collection and process the obtained data into meaningful information in test conditions in Testbed for Industry 4.0 CIIRC CTU before implementing the necessary technologies in their company. They will present several successful examples of data collection and evaluation from practical machines.

Petr Kadera will explain how it is possible to use machine learning methods to replace the routine work of operators and achieve a significant streamlining of production. It will acquaint you with the possibilities of data sharing in an international environment while maintaining their sovereignty and security.

Transfer of control in distributed Industrie 4.0 applications – What if robots call for help?

DFKI & RICAIP: TRACTAT, CAMELOT

Wednesday, 14 April 2021, 11:00 – 11:25 a.m.

Dr. Tilman Becker, Director RICAIP-Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production, CzechTechnical University in Prague

Dr. Tim Schwartz, Senior Researcher and Head of the Human-Robot Communication Research Group, DFKI

Autonomous robots are also expected to be used, for example, as transport robots in industrial scenarios. Unlike rigidly programmed systems, they can adapt their behavior to current conditions and change their route if obstacles block the way. If they get into situations for which they cannot find a solution themselves and need outside help, they initiate a transfer of control (ToC). The technology is being addressed in the TRACTAT project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and its successor CAMELOT, and is finding influence in the German-Czech EU project RICAIP, where it is being extended to include aspects of distributed production. In the live broadcast, RICAIP director Dr. Tilman Becker and DFKI scientist Dr. Tim Schwartz will present the concepts and ideas developed using two practical demonstrators.

Robots-In-Residence: NAO robots at the Goethe-Institut are programmed by female-scientists from CIIRC CTU
2020-09-16 08:00 - 17:00
A team of female-programmers from the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics in Prague is participating in the Robots in Residence programme of the Goethe-Institut together with the newly established RICAIP Centre (Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production). Their task is to program the traveling humanoid robot NAO, which started its journey around Europe a few months ago. At the Goethe-Institut Czech Republic, the general public can meet the robot during September and get a chance to have an interview with it, listen to its EU personalities’ quotes, play a quiz or practice Tai Chi.

NAO arrived in Prague from Ljubljana, Slovenia, and after Prague will continue to its next stop in Warsaw. In each country, local creative programmers provide new skills to the NAO robot.

„We were happy to join the project mainly as we have got the opportunity to test the development of communication in natural language on a humanoid robot which is in some way new for us. For research purposes, we have been using Pepper robot for a few past years. We can say that Pepper is an older brother of NAO robot which is being produced by the same company,“ says Gabriela Šejnová from the Robotic Perception Laboratory at CIIRC CTU and adds: „As part of the HUMR project, we teach Pepper to talk to seniors from the Active Age Center 90 and practise its cognitive skills using various quizzes and games.“ Kateřina Kubecová, who is now programming the NAO robot for the Goethe-Institut, confirms: „We will translate a small example of the communication that Pepper already knows into English and German and equip the NAO robot with it.“

The first meeting with the robot and its Czech programmers took place on Wednesday 9 September 2020 as part of a cultural evening in the framework of the project „Tell me about Europe“, which is conceived, among other things, as a meeting with the writer Alena Wagnerová. The project itself, alongside a number of other projects, is presented by the Goethe-Institut and the German Federal Foreign Office during the German EU Council Presidency from July until December 2020.

The Robots-In-Residence programme in the Czech Republic is implemented by the Goethe-Institut in cooperation with RoboticLab at the Technical University of Wildau and the Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production (RICAIP) at CIIRC CTU.

The programme is part of the large-scale project Generation A = Algorithm also organized by the Goethe-Institut at the occasion of the German Presidency of the EU 2020 Council: Goethe.de/generationa. The project combines different formats, in addition to the traveling robot, also online Couch Lessons, a Climate Challenge Hackathon as well as a residency programme, in which the Goethe-Institut invites young artists to stay at various research institutes dealing with artificial intelligence to gain new perspectives on the latest technological developments. The AI-Residence programme is aimed at artists aged 18-30, the so-called Generations Y and Z. RICAIP and CIIRC CTU have been also involved in this activity – it will be implemented only in 2021, but the collection of applications is already underway. Artists will be selected in the fall of this year and can still apply until 30 September 2020 here. The aim is to stimulate public debate on existing approaches, potentials and risks of artificial intelligence in the coming „Generation A“, which is expected to use algorithms in everyday life.
