AI in Robotics

The white paper is dedicated to the topic of interactive, adaptive robotics – primarily from a technological perspective, taking functional safety and economic efficiency into account – and highlights the technological, social and economic framework conditions that give this technology a promising future. It explains what adaptive robot systems are, what characterises them and how they learn interactively in the real and virtual world. But also what requirements and possible hurdles need to be overcome. This is concretised using seven application examples that illustrate where and how adaptive robots can provide interactive support in the near and distant future – be it in agriculture, healthcare, recycling or aerospace.
