The \u201cBeyond Smart Robots\u201d workshop is jointly organized by PROFACTOR and TU Wien during European Robotics Forum (ERF2018), the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe, held in Tampere, Finland, on 15 March 2018.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beyond Smart Robots: Enabling Technologies for True Non-Expert Teaching<\/p>\n

In conjunction with the European Robotics Forum 2018<\/a>, Tampere, Finland, March 13-15, 2018<\/p>\n

Aim and Scope<\/h2>\n

Although academic research demonstrated numerous ways to easily program robots, most of them have not become industrial reality yet. Current industrial robots are still difficult to program, leading to high changeover times when new products are introduced. This is especially challenging considering new trends like high product variants and low lot sizes. In order to compete with global markets, the factories of tomorrow have to close this gap soon.<\/p>\n

At the same time, new technologies arising from other scientific branches bring disruptive changes with unexpected opportunities. For example, recent advances in Deep Learning endow robots with \u201chuman-level\u201d cognitive capabilities. In some domains, they have even surpassed human skills, e.g. image classification or strategic games. Augmented Reality, as another example, has grown up from the infancy and is a major interaction technology used in gaming industry and modern mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Target Audience and Topics<\/h2>\n

This workshop aims to find synergies between different fields of science to aid in the application area of non-experts robot teaching for industrial processes. In order to limit the high number of possible processes, the focus is on assembly.<\/p>\n

The following topics are of interest (but not limited to):<\/p>\n
