Robotics
Research project
Smart mobile manipulator - flexible and simple automation
The ILT has developed a smart, mobile manipulator platform that offers an optimal solution for diverse, flexible automation tasks. The requirements for the development were to offer the widest possible range of applications and an easily expandable control system or associated software framework, which enables the system to be…
Research project
SMART FACTORY 2.0
Thanks to the possibility of flexible intralogistics, components can be transported autonomously between machines within production.
Research project
CoBot-based pick and place application
Implementation of a production system using a collaborative robot for handling housing lids for feeding into a printing station
Research project
Smart Factory @ Techpark
The ILT and other institutes of the OST are currently working on the construction of a Smart Factory in the new Techpark. One highlight will be the fully automated production cell for customised floorballs.
Research project
Collaborative Robotics (CoBot)
We support companies in the evaluation and implementation of collaborative robotics solutions. Our competences include the design of automated robotic systems, simulation and programming of collaborative robots (CoBots) as well as image processing and human-machine interface.
