Learning systems and cognitive robotics
The AI Innovation Center "Learning Systems and Cognitive Robotics" supports companies in exploiting the economic opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and machine learning in particular. In application-oriented research projects and in direct cooperation with industrial companies, the Stuttgart-based Fraunhofer Institutes for
Current projects
Cobot-assisted production of surgical instruments
The project team carried out an automation potential analysis across all manufacturing steps of surgical instruments. Sub-tasks were identified that could be performed by cobots with intelligent, AI-supported control.
Optical quality control of surfaces
The defects in the thermal deformation of aircraft landing gear are detected by the SFS algorithm. The results can be further processed with AI algorithms and material defects can be visualized with suitable lighting.
Automatic hanging of faceplate brackets
Creation of a concept for hanging brackets on an electroplating rack. Hanging is carried out by a robot with a magazine gripper and optical localization of the individual hooks.
AI-based print image control for effervescent tablet tubes at Jaco
The project developed an AI-based, reliable and fully automated solution for print image monitoring. This reduces false alarms by an average of 85.7% through anomaly detection.
