How can humanoid robots support day-to-day working life? The Faculty of Industrial Engineering at the Hochschule Niederrhein (HSNR) will be providing answers to this question as part of Mönchengladbach’s Digital Week. On Friday 26 June, from 10 am to 1 pm, anyone interested can gain an insight into current applications of humanoid robotics at the Mönchengladbach Adult Education Centre (Lüpertzender Str. 85, 41061 Mönchengladbach). Participation is free of charge; no registration is required.
Using examples with a strong practical orientation, the researchers will demonstrate how robots in industry can take on simple and repetitive tasks, thereby reducing the workload on employees. Humanoid systems are also becoming increasingly important in the healthcare and service sectors, for example in the transport of materials, in support roles within care settings, or as assistants at the reception.
Two humanoid robots will be on display at the event, giving visitors a first-hand impression of their capabilities and the possibilities for human-robot interaction. The event also offers an opportunity to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by this technology. Topics to be covered include aspects such as quality of work, precision, acceptance, safety and cost-effectiveness.
