Servicerobotics is revolutionizing our lives. Whether it is in the medical sector, in logistics or in any other industry, you’ll find an increasing demand for autonomous and flexible robots. And they have arrived in our everyday lives, too. Over 80 per cent of the German population can imagine, having a robot at home – a huge growth potential for the sector.

We have had automation for many decades with ever more sophisticated automation methods. But findings from the history of the industry show: people aren’t losing work because of this. The inexorable development of technology already enables a cooperation between humans and robots in shared workplaces without separative safety measures.

In the future, robots and humans will work together more intensively. For machine operators, robots will become as everyday as an electric drill. One of the reasons for this collaboration is demographic change. Robots should support factory workers more ergonomically and efficiently and they should take on monotonous, dangerous and physically exhausting tasks. Processes will become more flexible and transparent and resources will be saved.

Young people who are interested in technology and who seek training,
should be given a perspective. Messe M?nchen offers precisely this at AUTOMATICA ,
the Trade Fair for Automation and Mechatronics , taking place in Munich from June
21st to June 24th . The foundation "technology is fun" is represented by "integration
Islands " at the stand 326 in hall B4. On these integration islands students and young.
Refugees from the age of 10 upwards can playfully come into contact with
technology. At the supervised learning stations they can learn, create, programme
and solder in small groups. Lego Mindstorms and WeDo , Arduino , lathe-turning and
a 3D printer are just a few of the treats waiting for the youngsters.
The STARTUP WORLD is a unique market place of innovations for emerging
startups , industry and investors . Here young entrepreneurs can present their ideas
and products to the global industry experts .
The Automatica - the platform for the present and future of the industry !

Service robotics is in demand. In contrast to "classical" industrial robotics, the emphasis is on applications for the service sector: walking aids for patients, self-propelled cleaning machines, aids for agriculture, in the air, undewater or even in outerspace - service robotics is now in practical use everywhere.

Industry 4.0 stands for the fourth industrial revolution. Cars, machines and even whole factories communicate with each other. Primarily, robots should take over monotonous and dangerous tasks for humans and they should be used flexibly and ultimately, capable of organising themselves. Human-robot collaboration is key to Industry 4.0.

Intuitive programming and robot skills

There is an ongoing shift in industry from mass production to low-batch production with highly individualized goods.
This increases the effort to program robots, which is typically carried out by robot experts. For keeping the production economical, new programming approaches are required that allow non-expert human coworkers to instruct robots easily.
One approach to make programming more intuitive is to use robotic skills that are preprogrammed, however flexible, software modules that only need to be parametrized. Robot skills contain all information, behavioral logic, recover strategies, controllers, etc., which are needed to execute a certain task such as drilling or screwing. The non-expert can sequence single skills to obtain a complex autonomous or interactive robot task while only setting a limited number of parameters.
At DLR, a skill software architecture has been developed which is robust, fast to parameterize, and can handle dynamic, physical human-robot interaction. For multimodal interaction, intuitive user interfaces have been developed.
