The seamless integration of AI into the consumer sector has helped to improve our quality of life and make interactions with technology more efficient. In industry, AI vision with machine learning opens up new possibilities that are not covered by rule-based image processing. Nevertheless, we are still a long way from widespread industrial use of AI methods. Is a rethink necessary?
The term edge computing is inextricably linked to the word cloud computing. While cloud computing - i.e. the connection of systems to the internet - has been gaining in importance for several years as part of the future-oriented Industry 4.0 project, edge computing appears to be a relatively new technology. The possibilities of this approach will be demonstrated using the EPC 1502 edge device.
The Bremen Institute of Structural Mechanics and Production Systems is developing a concept that aims to improve human-machine interaction within collaborative assembly scenarios using image-based hand recognition.
