Autonomous systems are needed in production in order to manufacture customised products efficiently. They are adaptable and can solve tasks independently and constantly adapt: From transport systems within a plant to flexible production systems and quality control, autonomous systems are one of the key technologies for the smart factory of the future. So-called collaborative robots can learn from each other and support humans in repetitive and tedious tasks. The potential for AI-based applications to increase overall plant efficiency in production is enormous. This is why Festo has decided to focus its AI laboratory on autonomous systems.
