Fraunhofer IFF's Department of Robotic Systems develops innovative AI solutions to automate complex processes, such as industrial assembly and disassembly or object manipulation in the health care sector. Our technologies enable robots to respond reliably to changes and adapt to new tasks. In contrast to conventional robotics that are limited to specific, narrowly defined tasks, we are enabling new fields of use that were previously not possible. We make this possible through adaptive, AI-based generation of robot movements during execution. This involves recording the current status of the process and the environment at all times and deriving the optimal action from this information. This opens wholly new fields of use for robotic applications that are now unfeasible with common programming methods. Robots acquire the ability to understand their environment, make decisions, solve problems independently and learn from experience. To do this, we combine findings and methods from different disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, control systems engineering and computer vision.
