Aufgaben The “Engineering Logistics Technology, Planning & Processes” and “Future Automotive Manufacturing” departments want to jointly develop new automation technologies for the factory of the future in the field of intralogistics. The main focus here is on topics relating to innovation and digitalization in intralogistics, which are to be combined with robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, the ARENA2036 e.V. research campus at the University of Stuttgart will be used as a creative research platform for the further development of the technologies. The aim is to actively shape the production of tomorrow and make it fit for the future
Kitting (assembly pre-picking) is a picking process in production in which components are put together from the parts warehouse to match assembly steps. Bin picking refers to the automated process in which robots autonomously remove components from a load carrier, some of which are disordered, and place them in an orderly manner at another location. This process requires a high level of accuracy in order to avoid sorting errors and enable subsequent activities.
By using AI, simple robot assistants should learn how to find, pick and place as many different objects as possible in containers. The aim of this doctorate is to design and use algorithms and processes to enable the efficiency and accuracy of the bin-picking process through the use of AI in a simple way and for a wide range of components. It is important that new components can be taught without expert knowledge and very quickly. The verification and validation of the developed system through laboratory and operational tests rounds off these activities and is intended to determine its suitability for practical use
