SUMMARY:RICAIP Training: Automated Assembly Picking System for Cluttered Environments with Live Collision-Free Trajectory Planning
DESCRIPTION:RICAIP and ZeMA | Zentrum für Mechatronik und Automatisierungstechnik (Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology GmbH) in Saarbrücken\, Germany\, are pleased to invite you to an online RICAIP Training on assembly-picking system. \n\n\n\nThis RICAIP event is solely for the research teams of RICAIP Partners (CIIRC CTU\, CEITEC BUT\, ZeMA\, DFKI and VSB TUO). \n\n\n\n\nRegister HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFocus\n\n\n\n\n\nIt requires sequence planning\, object detection\, pose estimation\, and trajectory planning. Given a general CAD model\, the existing ASAP (Automated Sequence Planning for complex Robotic Assembly with physical Feasibility) method generates a physically feasible assembly sequence. We have further optimised ASAP to address common structural challenges in LEGO assemblies. Then\, we address cluttered-bin detection challenges using a voting-based strategy that reduces false positives across varying point cloud scales.  \n\n\n\n\n\nOur image processing method combines best-fit and iterative closest point (ICP) techniques\, enabling robust millimeter-level 3D localisation. Gripping points are identified for collision-free trajectories using the k–dimensional Tree (K-d Tree) and rapidly-exploring random trees (RRT) algorithms\, and verified via a digital twin before execution. The system is validated in a Lego assembly case and benchmarked against industrial tools. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction (Definition of the assembly system\, Challenge/Problem\, Main Process from ZeMA)\n\n\n\nAutonomous Assembly System: Overview and Concept\n\nCAD-based Assembly Sequence Planning\n\n\n\nSelf-developed Object Detection\n\n\n\n3D Pose Estimation\n\n\n\nCollision-Free Trajectory Planning\n\n\n\n\n\nEvaluation and Validation of the Concept\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\nXiaomei Xu\, M.Sc.RWTH \n\n\n\nResearch assistant at \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShort bio\n\n\n\nI have been working as a research assistant at ZeMA in the Robotics group since April 2020. In 2019\, I completed my master’s degree in 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 industrial robot path planning and digital twin simulation. \n\n\n\nDuring 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy research interests include the application of 3D camera technology in the industrial field to improve object recognition and 3D pose estimation under the bin-picking challenge. A fully assembled product is randomly scanned using a 3D camera\, resulting in the reconstruction of its CAD model. Extending beyond bin picking systems\, I continue to advance research on self-developed object detection tools and collision-free trajectory planning\, supported by digital twin technology in live processes. By integrating an autonomous bin picking system with automated assembly sequence planning\, this framework evolves into a fully functional assembly picking system \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed.

All this in real time\, right at the stand. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobotic Cell for Flexible Production\n\n\n\nAt our stand\, we will demonstrate how production can respond flexibly to changing conditions – in our case\, on a scaled-down model of an autonomous modular factory represented by two KUKA collaborative robots. This is a clear demonstration of the main principles of modern\, flexible\, and sustainable production. The robotic cell automatically adapts to the type of module according to the manufacturer’s “recipe\,” which contains all the necessary steps and tools. Thanks to dynamic smart planning using AI\, sequences of tasks are generated automatically\, without the need to reprogram the robots. This approach saves time and money and paves the way for more easily reconfigurable manufacturing processes. The solution is also integrated into T-Mobile’s T-Process Platform\, enabling its practical use in industry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobotic Tap System\n\n\n\nThe robotic tap is a traditional and indispensable part of the stand. It is no coincidence that this year it will be located in the Energy Zone\, because it is not only a technological gadget\, but also a comprehensive solution that will demonstrate full automation in practice and will also serve to collect data for effective operation management. In this case\, data on energy consumption\, but also on temperature\, flow rate\, and the amount of beer dispensed.Our robotic beer tap is fully prepared for continuous unattended operation. Anytime\, anywhere. It can tap four beers at once and is equipped with AI that allows it to adapt to its surroundings and optimize energy consumption. Thanks to feedback from sensors\, it can actively adapt the movements of the robot that taps the beer. Advanced data analytics intelligently control cooling and prevent malfunctions. This tap represents a cutting-edge solution for sustainable and smart management using the latest technologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollaborative robots as you (don’t) know them: Industrial precision for rehabilitation\n\n\n\nVersatility\, flexibility\, and scalability are the basis of research at RICAIP Testbed Prague. Cobots have their roots in industry: they measure and dispense force\, respond to changes in the environment\, and perform sensitive tasks thanks to precise control. A new type of robot\, which is being prepared for next year\, adds higher safety features and advanced control\, so we can safely deploy it outside of industry\, for example in healthcare—an area we are currently focusing on because we see great potential in it. Therefore\, the same principles allow the robot to be reprogrammed and\, instead of precisely assembling components in a production line\, the same system can be used in rehabilitation programs\, for example. \n\n\n\nAt our booth\, we are showing a virtual reality car driving simulator: exercise becomes a game that motivates patients and helps them regain the range of motion in their joints and the fine motor skills needed for driving. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDigiStage: Conference Program\n\n\n\nThe Digital Factory invites you to DigiStage – a program packed with demonstrations of the latest trends and examples of best practices in Industry 4.0.

SUMMARY:RICAIP Session: Highly flexible production and logistics facilities in resilient value chains – from data rooms to adaptive manufacturing systems
DESCRIPTION:RICAIP and ZeMA | Zentrum für Mechatronik und Automatisierungstechnik (Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology GmbH) in Saarbrücken\, Germany\, are pleased to invite you to an online RICAIP session on highly flexible production and logistics facilities in resilient value chains. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation focuses on key technologies and strategies for creating resilient value chains in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment. The focus is on highly flexible production and logistics facilities that enable manufacturing networks to respond quickly and efficiently to disruptions\, adapt to changing market conditions and\, at the same time\, integrate sustainable principles of the circular economy. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will showcase innovative approaches to data-driven value networks based on international standards such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS)\, data rooms and federated data ecosystems. Practical examples demonstrate how companies can not only increase their resilience to supply chain disruptions by making their production systems more flexible\, but also secure their long-term competitiveness. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction: Resilience in value creation networks – challenges and opportunities\n\n\n\nFlexibility and adaptability as success factors – concepts and enablers\n\n\n\nData spaces and digital twins for adaptive production – technological fundamentals\n\n\n\nAsset Administration Shell (AAS) and standardised interoperability\n\n\n\nFlexible production systems – architecture and implementation\n\n\n\nAdaptive logistics systems in regional and global networks\n\n\n\nCircular economy integration – sustainable manufacturing practices\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nProf. Dr.-Ing. Florian Mohr \n\n\n\nFlorian Mohr is a professor at Trier University of Applied Sciences at the Birkenfeld Environmental Campus. His research focuses on production management and logistics\, with a particular emphasis on data spaces\, the circular economy and applied AI for the circular economy. He develops data-driven ecosystems in which highly flexible production and logistics facilities are linked to digital platforms and real-time data to create resilient value creation networks. \n\n\n\nA central aspect of his work is decentralised structures for fair\, distributed AI training suitable for SMEs. Instead of relying on centralised data centres\, he is researching federated and distributed learning approaches in which data remains local and only models or gradients are exchanged. This preserves data privacy\, reduces the concentration of technological power and makes it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to access AI-supported solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the GreenFab project\, he is working on sustainable\, circular factory concepts that focus on AI-supported production planning\, intelligent reverse logistics and the extension of product life cycles. In his teaching\, Mohr integrates these topics into project-based formats in order to prepare students for data-driven\, sustainable industrial environments in a practical manner and to qualify them for the design of future-proof value creation networks. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nI have read and I agree to the processing of personal data as stated  HERE \n\n \n\n Δ

SUMMARY:AI – smart but sexist? Pull the plug on gender bias
DESCRIPTION:RICAIP and DFKI in Saarbrücken\, Germany\, are pleased to invite you to an online RICAIP session on gender bias in AI. \n\n\n\nDiscrimination\, especially also gender bias\, are social problems. But what does it mean for the AI era of AI? What impact might it have in the future? \n\n\n\nThis talk sheds light on the role of gender bias\, diversity in AI and how AI systems become discriminating. The types of bias are discussed because\, if we know how they creep into AI and other software systems\, we can also do something about them. A framework is then presented to help us all work towards having „fair by design“ AI systems around us – both in our professional and personal lives. Last but not least\, some advice is given on how you can promote fairness within your sphere of influence.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nSlides in the PDF\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\nAI\, gender\, and the future\n\n\n\nWhere do we stand with AI and gender bias at present?\n\n\n\nBias types\n\n\n\nFramework for „fairness by design“\n\n\n\nKey points for „fairness by you“\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Kinga Schumacher \n\n\n\nDr. Kinga Schumacher studied computer science in Mannheim and completed her Phd in the field of artificial intelligence at the University of Potsdam. She is a senior researcher and deputy head of the Cognitive Assistance Systems research group at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). She is also the head of the Diversity and Gender Equality working group at DFKI. Her research focuses on the areas of “diversity-aware AI“\, gendered research and human-machine interaction. In addition\, she is involved in mapping the AI landscape with regard to AI methods and the capabilities of AI systems\, supplemented with a risk assessment scheme based in the AI Act. This work flows into the regulatory activities of Germany and the EU.  \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nI have read and I agree to the processing of personal data as stated  HERE \n\n \n\n Δ

SUMMARY:IRONMAN or Fe-Male: resources for All of Us
DESCRIPTION:Resources are the building blocks of science – and indeed of any human endeavour. \n\n\n\nThe most obvious type of resource in science is funding: grants\, scholarships\, and other financial support used to carry out research and to cover necessary materials and equipment. However\, resources extend far beyond financial means. In science\, resources also include people (human resources)\, the atmosphere they create\, the opportunities they provide\, and the support they offer — whether at the level of the individual\, the research group\, the institution\, the region\, or the country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event aims to bring together scientists and those who are interested in – and invested in – scientific progress: people of all genders\, across a wide range of positions and life situations. Only through such diversity can discussions be truly impactful and authentic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for IRONMAN of Fe-MALE: Resources for All of Us\, an engaging session dedicated to exploring resources and opportunities in the world of science and innovation.
