Digital technologies are one of the most powerful drivers of structural changes in the economy and society. The health crisis has reinforced their role and made it more obvious that Europe in general has a lot of catching up to do. However, the place of women in these key technologies for the future of our societies remains very low.

The gender gap in the job market is glaring, especially in the European Union. Worse, the proportion of women in digital jobs is not increasing and remains below 20% in Europe (17% in France; 10% in the Czech Republic). The ratio of investment in start-ups also remains largely at the expense of women start-up project leaders (90/10).

However, everyone agrees that greater diversity is necessary, for social and economic reasons, but also to allow the sector to benefit from a richness of approach and creativity born from the diversity of profiles.

Why are women so poorly represented in the sector? Their supposedly lack of interest in scientific disciplines is regularly pointed out, particularly in mathematics and computer science. At school and then in higher education, the figures are particularly frightful, especially in France. In fact, young girls suffer from the prejudices surrounding these disciplines, which are considered masculine, as well as from the lack of role models in the economic and academic world.

We would like to contribute to the discussion on these topics

To continue to raise public awareness on the subject, particularly by highlighting existing and developing good practices;

To set up concrete actions to contribute to the evolution of the situation, especially for the youngest girls.

RICAIP Training: Intelligent Robotic System using Handtracking for Picking Parts in a Bin
2023-03-29 10:00 - 12:00
The Training/Tutorial will introduce an intelligent and interactive robotic system for picking parts in a bin. The aim is for a robot arm to sort required LEGO parts from the cluttered and unstructured environment as a preparation for the assembly of a full LEGO group/product. The system offers a hand tracking feature for choosing a Lego group as the product and determines which LEGO parts correspond to the products. Once a specific block is selected, the robot is to find it in the bin using a 3D camera, determine its accurate 3D pose and pick it. In this training we show the detailed steps starting from teaching a new object using the Cognex 3D PatMaxTool, extracting the point cloud in the area of interest processing it and matching it with the CAD model in order to estimate the pose. The calibration process is to be discussed along with the communication protocol between the robot and the system.

The training is led by

I have been working as a research assistant at ZeMA in the Robotics group since April 2020. In 2019, I completed master degree under Mechanical Automation Engineering from RWTH Aachen University and worked during my thesis on the iCellFactory project at the WZL Machine Tool Laboratory to focus on the industrial robot path planning and digital twin simulation. During my studies, I completed various internships, e.g. at the VW Academy Hannover where I supported the set-up and roll-out of the VWN Campus Digitalization and supervised workshops as well as at the Jülich Forschungzentrum in the field of metal stressing and shaping. My research interests include the application of 3D camera technology in the industrial field to improve the object recognition and 3D pose estimation under bin picking challenge. And then industrial robot combining with AI analyses the product and plans the robot path to assembly the products.

Developed by the RICAIP team of Testbed for Industry 4.0 at CIIRC CTU in cooperation with partners:

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.

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:

1/ Smart Coffee Machines
Let one of the two automatic coffee machines serve you. Simply enter your preferences using your tablet or smartphone and the coffee machine will take care of the rest for you.

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.

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.
