Robotics and autonomous machines

Integrating human–robot collaboration and automated laboratories to accelerate productivity through physical experimentation and remote research access.

Overview

Human–robot collaboration increases laboratory productivity, as well as robotic systems contributing to scientific experimentation, automation in educational labs, and remote access to research equipment. STEM-oriented educational robotics for hands-on learning in hybrid or distributed settings. Adaptation of dynamic external environment control approaches inside knowledge model and adaptive learning environment. Supports knowledge production through physical experimentation and learning-by-doing paradigms.
