Cognitive Robotics and New Safety Technologies for Human-Robot Collaboration
Researchers at the Fraunhofer IFF have developed cognitive robot capabilities that can handle complex tasks in manufacturing that were previously impossible to automate. In addition, they are also unveiling the first safety technologies for close human-machine collaboration that can also ensure safety in AI-generated robot movements.
In the iDEAR project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF are developing solutions for automated, nondestructive robotic disassembly of electronics for remanufacturing and material recycling that will help establish an advanced circular economy.
