KAPPS: A knowledge-based CPPS Architecture for the Circular Factory
Etienne Hoffmann, Jan-Felix Klein, Sören Weindel +7
While linear manufacturing relies on homogeneous materials and predefined process sequences, circular manufacturing reintroduces used products with heterogeneous and uncertain cond…
From CAD to POMDP: Probabilistic Planning for Robotic Disassembly of End-of-Life Products
Jan Baumgärtner, Malte Hansjosten, David Hald +3
To support the circular economy, robotic systems must not only assemble new products but also disassemble end-of-life (EOL) ones for reuse, recycling, or safe disposal. Existing ap…
Milling using two mechatronically coupled robots
Max Goebels, Jan Baumgärtner, Tobias Fuchs +3
Industrial robots are commonly used in various industries due to their flexibility. However, their adoption for machining tasks is minimal because of the low dynamic stiffness char…
One Problem, One Solution: Unifying Robot and Environment Design Optimization
Jan Baumgärtner, Gajanan Kanagalingam, Alexander Puchtaand Jürgen Fleischer
The task-specific optimization of robotic systems has long been divided into the optimization of the robot and the optimization of the environment. In this letter, we argue that th…
