Research: Breakthrough with new generation robots

Soon, industrial robots will be used at lower cost in small-scale production thanks to the operating system developed by the Dutch-German partnership SInBot. Doctoral research by Maarten Essers shows that the results from preliminary tests are promising. He conducted research into improving control of industrial robotic arms.
The new generation of intelligently controlled robots is capable of a quick and flexible performance of production tasks. In the new system, robots are not controlled in a top-down manner; instead they discuss what they are going to do next. This allows them to eventually assign and execute tasks individually (News Item University of Twente, 19 April 2016).
