Embedded learning and optimization for the next generation of smart industrial control systems KU Leuven
hanks to the increasing capabilities of digital technologies, the next generation of industrial control systems are expected to learn from streams of data and to take optimal decisions in real-time, leading to increased performance, safety, energy efficiency, and ultimately value creation.
Numerical optimization is at the very core of both learning and decision-making, and machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence raise ...
Secure Collaborative Intelligent Industrial Assets KU Leuven
SeCoIIA aims at securing digital transition of manufacturing industry towards more connected, collaborative, flexible and automated production techniques. It fosters user-driven application cases from aeronautics, automotive and naval construction sectors. Collaboration is considered from Organization to Organization (O2O), but also from Machine to Machine (M2M), Machine to Human (M2H) and Human to Human (H2H) perspectives. Enhanced process ...
CONnected through roBOTS: physically coupling humans to boost handwriting and music learning Ghent University
From a parent coordinating movements to help a child learn to walk, to a violinist training a concerto, humans rely on physical interaction to learn from each other and from the environment. Building on a strongly multidisciplinary foundation with an integrated approach, CONBOTS proposes a paradigm shift that aims to augment handwriting and music learning through robotics, by creating a physically interacting robotic platform connecting ...
Development of a SMART system integrating automatic/robotic hybrid WELDing technologies, digital-twin-assisted quality monitoring, and WPS predictive tool Ghent University
SMARTWELD Project aims to develop new smart, efficient and eco-friendly welding processes. Steel industry emissions must fall by at
least 55% within 2030 to contribute to the European Green Deal final goal of making EU carbon neutral by 2050. The most promising
mitigation approach to tackle the problem is the combination of material efficiency and hydrogen transition, capable to reduce
direct emissions by 48%. In the present ...
Generalizing human-demonstrated robot skills KU Leuven
Future robots are expected to perform a multitude of complex tasks with high variability, in close collaboration or even physical contact with humans, and in industrial as well as in non-industrial settings. Both human-robot interaction and task variability are major challenges. A lot of progress is needed so that: (1) robots recognize the intention of the human and react with human-like motions; (2) robot end-users, such as operators on the ...
Robotics Coordination Action for Europe. KU Leuven
The European robotics community has grown significantly over the last few years. At the same time public funding enabled the community to become more organised on both the research (EURON) and the industrial (EUROP) side and to develop the currently valid Strategic Research Agenda (SRA).Very recently EURON and EUROP decided to combine their portfolio of activities and member base within a new non-profit organisation, euRobotics AISBL, which ...
Robotic Safe Adaptation In unprecedented Situations (RoboSAPIENS). University of Antwerp
European Space Robot Control Operating System KU Leuven
The ESROCOS activity is devoted to the design of a Robot Control Operating Software (RCOS) that can provide adequate features and performance with space-grade Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) properties. The goal of the ESROCOS proposal is to provide an open source framework which can assist in the generation of flight software for space robots. By providing an open standard which can be used by research labs and ...
