Robotic Projects
Research, Development and Transfer
THWS conducts applied science and development in close cooperation with companies from the regional and supra-regional industry. This ensures the optimum practical relevance for students and enables a direct transfer of the project results into practice.
Our close, productive alliance with the medium-sized industry becomes visible in our current research projects:
Intralogistics in the Smart Factory:
RoboCup@Work
The RoboCup has proven itself for more than 20 years as an international competition to significantly develop expertise in public in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence. The goal of the @Work League is to solve robotics problems in the environment of Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories and demonstrate them in a test environment. This topic is very relevant for the regional and supra-regional economy and is therefore an important component of the THWS research focus Digital Production.

Interactive, collaborative assembly of complex components (InKoMo)
Because of the lack of cost effectiveness, complex or individualized components with a small batch size often have a low degree of automation. Solutions to increase efficiency can be intelligent assembly sites. Within the “lnKoMo” project, AR applications and collaborative robots (cobots) are examined for possible usages in assisted, intelligent workplaces. The objective is to develop a tried-and-tested generally valid procedure for establishing intelligent, manual assembly processes on the basis of use cases.
