Automated Production Systems

Definition

The technology field “Automated Production Systems” bundles the robotics competencies across all chairs. In addition to in-depth knowledge of mechatronic systems, this also includes a high level of expertise in enabling technologies for robotics. This includes sensor and actuator technology, methods for environment modeling and the interpretation of data to define appropriate robot actions. The real application reference within the research is always taken into account. Among other things, the use of innovative robot technologies in production, in medical technology and for assistance is addressed, through to the use of robots in the dismantling of nuclear facilities and for the development of previously inaccessible places for exploration and, if necessary, utilization.

Vision

‪The technology field bundles in-depth knowledge about the robots and handling devices that can be used, their control and motion planning as well as the actuators and sensors required for the specific application. A sustainable transfer of knowledge and the possibility of developing alternative solutions is achieved through a cross-group dialog.
