Flexible robot control with AI
- details
Ideas from students' minds rarely reach the market in this country. This expert finding is often heard in Germany. A current example from the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen shows how such a path can lead to the goal: the founding project “Klag Robotics”.
This name initially stands for the THM graduate Henrik Klag, who was already very interested in innovative production automation as a student of mechanical engineering and mechatronics on the Friedberg campus. In addition, Klag Robotics describes a project for the “development of optimized robot controls for the tested component provision in the high-speed area,” which is funded by the state of Hesse with around one million euros through the “Distr@l” programme to strengthen digitalization.
