Institute for Technologies and Management of Digital Transformation

Robotics Lab

In our robotics lab, we research the use of AI methods in industrial robotics. With two workstations, the lab offers space for creative and productive work, both in the context of our projects and in the form of practical final theses. With our two cobots, a Universal Robots UR5e and a Franka Emika Panda, we can quickly present real-world application scenarios. Here, we explore methods for AI-powered automation - from improving a robot's perception in the form of deep-learning-based component recognition to autonomous intelligent agents that learn assembly tasks. Even if our robots are at home in the lab, they like to travel: thanks to a modular design, we can easily take our demonstrators with us to project completions, trade fairs or lectures and present our research results in a tangible way.sind, reisen sie gerne: Durch einen modularen Aufbau können wir unsere Demonstratoren einfach zu Projektabschlüssen, Messen oder Vorträgen mitnehmen und unsere Forschungsergebnisse greifbar darstellen.

AR/VR-Lab

Our AR/VR lab is currently being actively used in several research projects. These include the Figments.nrw project of the AR/VR.nrw project, the Community of Practices of the Social Virtual Learning project, the Inclusion in Production project (InProD²), and the Coherence in Teacher Education project (KoLBi). In addition, the lab is also open to interested parties who are investigating and developing AR/VR environments as part of research or thesis projects. The practical focus in our lab is on the integration of existing AR/VR technology into the educational context as well as target group-oriented content development. In addition, we are exploring the creation and subsequent editing of 3D objects using gestures with VR Sculpting. These objects find their way into the physical world with the help of our 3D printers.
