Are today's cobots the longed-for helpers?
To ensure efficient and safe human-robot collaboration, cobots need to be sensitive and have certain cognitive abilities. New cobots with special sensors and integrated AI can achieve this.
Dynamic safeguarding of assembly operations
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.
