Human behavior in production systems influences productivity, product quality, work safety and overall process performance. To guide human behavior, digital worker assistance systems can be used to support cognitive decision ...

Battery systems of electric vehicles suffer from low energy densities as well as high masses and geometrical complexity. The absence of standards for battery cells and peripheral components in combination with large and ...

Polymer-Electrolyte-Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems will contribute to enable climate-neutral mobility through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. PEM fuel cells address applications which are hardly decarbonized ...

In this paper we propose a framework for task allocation in human-robot collaborative assembly planning. Our framework distinguishes between two main layers of abstraction and allocation. In the higher layer we use an ...

To meet the demands for flexible assembly technology, an aerodynamic feeding system has been developed. The system autonomously finds the optimal configuration of four parameters – two angles of inclination, nozzle pressure ...

The article focuses on methods for designing modular cable-driven orientation mechanisms that can be attached to robot systems that lack on rotational degrees of freedom. The approach yields assembly systems for high speed ...

Industrial assembly of optical systems is still a tedious and cost-intensive task that is mostly dominated by manual labor. Positional fine-adjustment of optical components is pivotal to ensure a desired performance of the ...
