RWTH Seminar Interconnection of Robot Systems

Cooperation in Collaborative Robotics

Gain an insight into the networking possibilities of robots in a production line. Learn how robotic perception of other robots within the production line as well as environmental changes can be achieved through appropriate networking (in cloud systems) and how this influences human-involved production lines or changes at workplaces.

You will learn:

Configuring and deploying a cloud system for the control of a robot team
Global and local sensor systems
Development of individual application possibilities
Connecting several robot systems in a demo scenario

Contents of the Training

Based on the idea of a global superior control system, the basics of cloud computing are developed. The potentials of the central control systems are presented and the questions about the reliability and safety of the systems are explained. This is followed by a discussion of an exemplary scenario and the benefits of this structure. Finally, an outlook is given on the "Digital Shadow" and "Big Data" as well as the corresponding applications in the "Factory of the Future".

Why the Seminar Interconnection of Robot Systems at the RWTH International Academy?

Agile, freely networked assembly systems can be characterized by the sensor-supported cooperation of several robots - the foundation of Industry 4.0. In order to develop such a cooperation system, the basics of communication between robot systems and the necessary structure for a central control system are introduced.
You will receive targeted specialist knowledge through the specific support of expert lecturers from the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics.
This is a practical training program at one of the world's best technical universities and you will acquire state-of-the-art knowledge.
You will obtain a high quality educational qualification through a RWTH Aachen qualification
