Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA

Fraunhofer IPA presents a challenge to all researches, universities and industrials taking part in 2019’s IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). Everyone who is working or willing to work on estimating the pose of objects in bin-picking settings can compete in a challenge against industrial companies and research institutions from all over the world.

What if robots could smell? The Fraunhofer IPA is dedicated to the combination of biological and technical systems. A new platform technology will automate the production of cell-based sensors and make them economically usable.

The future of sustainable value creation systems” was the theme of a workshop on the Biological Transformation of the European manufacturing industry, hosted by the European Technology Platform ManuFUTURE and Fraunhofer in Brussels.

Wastage could be cut by up to 30 per cent: most compressor units run inefficiently. Numerous leaks allow air to escape, but detecting these is tricky. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA now propose to leverage the benefits of Artificial Intelligence to tackle this wastage.
