The present generation of robots are based on systems that are equipped with standard products for intelligent sensor systems. These machines are usually embedded in a rigid control unit and have little cognitive abilities. PROFACTOR’s research focuses on innovative technology solutions and systems whose autonomous decision-making power is characterized by increasing complexity.

The goal is to enable machines and systems to adapt their assistance as autonomously as possible, according to the situation and in real time. The acceptance of such solutions by the human operator is also taken into account – regardless of the obligatory safety issues.

PROFACTOR’s current research focuses on the following topics:

  • Cooperative Robotics: The focus is on interaction between human and the robot sharing the same workspace and carrying out their work on the same object simultaneously.
  • Situated Assistance: The goal is efficient and robust recognition of user behavior in real-time. Instead of considering the user as an obstacle, the user behavior is classified and necessary assistance is offered in real time.
  • Decentralized and distributed system architectures: Simplifying the programming effort of the system with heterogeneous elements such as sensors, robots and control.
  • Automatic Process Planning: Enabling (semi-) automatic planning of the handling and inspection processes, automatic planning of robotic processes and optimization of adaptively generated process plans.
  • New Action Patterns and Modalities: The focus is on the patterns and modalities of human-robot cooperation – taking the user acceptance into account.
