Join us on an engaging day focused on robotics and innovation at ZeMA Saarbrücken. The event will feature hands-on experiences and insightful tours designed to showcase the cutting-edge advancements in human-robot collaboration. \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\nXiaomei Xu \n\n\n\nZeMA \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHands-On Robotic Course \nIn the 90-minute “Hands-on Robotik-Kurs”\, we divide the group activity into two segments. 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.
