Machine learning processes open up new possibilities for evaluating data in a useful way, thereby increasing the level of intelligence of machines and systems.

The European Patent Office (EPO) has honored the German physicist Karl Leo for his groundbreaking work in the field of organic semiconductors. His research led to the development of a new generation of highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
The integration of cloud and edge solutions in cyber-physical production systems opens up new potential in automation. Among other things, research focuses on economic solutions for the challenges of digitalization.
Minor modifications can help to make gears more robust and durable or improve their running properties. Appropriate design software helps with this.

Festo Didactic at the Hannover Messe
Enthusiasm for careers in technical professions as well as for the right learning tools and teaching methods in the age of digitalization - this is what participants at the digital Hannover Messe will experience in live sessions and virtual stand tours at Festo Didactic.
Adaptive concepts for additive manufacturing
Robots with an extended degree of freedom facilitate the additive manufacturing of concrete parts, but some fundamental problems still need to be solved before they can be used on an industrial scale.

KIT researchers have developed a printed display whose biodegradability has been independently tested and confirmed.
Automated services and the increasing servitization of business models in intralogistics require a multi-layered flow of data and information between all players involved. Suitable digital images are required for this digital data flow.

Since mid-September, companies have been able to apply for tax concessions for personnel expenses in the area of R&D as part of the Research Allowance Act. With these three tips, you can receive up to one million euros in funding.
The further development of production technology is a major challenge for electromobility. The industry's development work is being actively supported by research, including by the Chair of Factory Automation and Production Systems (FAPS) at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

Robots increase the efficiency of small and medium-sized companies. Until now, however, access to automation solutions has mainly been available to experts, particularly in large companies. The Robotop platform is designed to make it easier to get started.
Data is the basis for digitalization and the application of artificial intelligence algorithms. It is seen as a "raw material" and therefore increasingly as a co-decisive production factor.

Asti InSystems is participating in the Flow-Pro research project. Over the next four years, the aim is to develop a climate-friendly, self-organizing logistics network that connects transport units across companies.
The aim of the Kirk research project is to use machine learning to develop new software-driven calibration methods for industrial robots. The initiators of the joint project are the University of Stuttgart, DHBW Karlsruhe and ArtiMinds Robotics.
The Chair of Robotics and Embedded Systems at the University of Bayreuth has extended the concept of playback programming to include a graphical user interface.
Research on task-oriented planning
Task-oriented planning. In networked production systems, more and more machines and autonomous vehicles are working alongside people. In order to make efficient use of all the possibilities, a sub-project of "FORobotics" is researching software for suitable resource allocation.
