Hannover Messe 2023 Day One: Manufacturers emphasizing industrial transformation, flexibility

Control Engineering

Making automation more open and smarter Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning play a role in enhancing automation by providing information to the user. You can train an AI model to learn patterns,” said Werner Paulin, the product owner of Nupano, an open automation platform making its debut at Hannover Messe.

Assembler robot groups have potential for making larger structures

Control Engineering

Developing this kind of system requires intelligence to be built into the robots themselves so they can operate well as a team. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will play a key role in that evolution. When we’re building these structures, you have to build in intelligence,” Gershenfeld said.

AI-enabled approach helps make autonomous robots safe, reliable

Control Engineering

This simulated jet model was open-sourced in 2018 and had been designed by flight control experts as a testing challenge. To push their method even further, they used it to fly a simulated jet aircraft in a scenario one might see in a “Top Gun” movie. Could researchers create a scenario that their controller could not fly?
