Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA

In order to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the research institute in Stuttgart has developed the prototype of a mobile cleaning and disinfection robot in a short time. It navigates autonomously to potentially contaminated objects, such as door handles, and disinfects them thoroughly. The robot is gentle on resources and time-saving.

When it comes to assembly tasks, up till now flexible robot programming has been a time-consuming and costly job. The "Rob-aKademI" research project aims to change this. The technologies used in the project, above all advanced simulation and machine learning, are intended to make programming easier and more autonomous.

More autonomous, greener, more complex, faster and more flexible: Researchers from the Fraunhofer IPA have investigated how Supply Chain Management will change by the year 2040 as part of a study conducted jointly with corporate consultancy Ginkgo Management Consulting.

TRUMPF and Fraunhofer IPA confirm research partnership to run until 2025 // Goal is to develop artificial intelligence solutions for connected sheet-metal manufacturing.
