Fraunhofer/IWU

We design and develop complete robot system-solutions: e.g. - Innovative human-robot systems, robot-machining, assembling, automation and mobile-applications - Gesture4Work: industrialized gesture control ( detection of dynamic/static gestures, robot control and safety sensor integration) • We develop software und plug-in tools from scratch: e.g: - Safety-related digital twins and user-friendly platform for dynamic risk assessment of agile manufacturing systems - Plug-In Tools for calculation/visualization of compact safety areas, automatic planning/optimizing of (multi-) robot paths • We develop innovative algorithms: - Cognitive robot systems using multiple intelligent sensor systems (2D/3D Camera, LiDAR, Radar, infrared camera etc.) - Intuitive robot programming (NoCode) using "Leaning by demonstration" approaches and gesture control - Online-Ergonomic evaluation, UI / UX design and human-centered assistance systems • We provide mediation support for companies interested in robotics, work with them to understand their challenges, develop a solution and suggest technology providers who can help implement a solution • We provide support to upgrade a successful experiment to the next level (start-up / scale-up expertise, business expertise, access to finance, incubator support services, internationalisation, marketing, market assessments, trend analysis, co-creation, value chain, etc.) • We act as consulting contractor for clients such as Chambers of Industry and Commerce as well as Crafts Chambers, e.g. we advised the Chamber of Crafts on the implementation of robotic solutions in regional SMEs
