Image Analysis Technologies for Robotics and Automation

Automation solutions and intelligent robots benefit equally from novel photonics technologies. Automated machine vision can improve efficiency and quality in production, facilitate production processes and optimize working conditions for humans and machines. Thanks to vision systems, autonomous robots can independently solve tasks in dangerous environments, can map unknown environments, and are even able to rescue people. The aim of the workshop is to provide an overview of the use, current challenges, and perspectives of image analysis technology in these areas. The conference also offers an excellent opportunity to network important players from industry and research and to make new contacts.


Autonomous Robot with Photonics Sensors

Automatisierungslösungen und intelligente Roboter profitieren gleichermassen von neuartigen Photonics-Technologien. Durch automatisierte Bildverarbeitung kann die Effizienz und Qualität in der Produktion verbessert werden, Produktionsprozesse erleichtert und die Arbeitsbedingungen für Mensch und Maschine optimiert werden. Autonome Roboter können dank Vision Systemen Aufgaben in gefährlichen Umgebungen selbstständig lösen, können dabei unbekannte Umgebungen kartieren, und sind sogar in der Lage, Menschen zu bergen. Ziel des Workshops ist es, einen Überblick über den Einsatz, gegenwärtige Herausforderungen und Perspektiven von Bildanalysetechnologie in diesen Bereichen zu geben. Die Tagung bietet außerdem eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, um wichtige Akteure aus der Industrie und der Forschung zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
