AI-enabled robotics for productivity in high-wage economies

Robots are an essential part of manufacturing sites in high-wage countries. Today’s robots are well suited for tasks such as spot welding, painting or precision manufacturing, but reamain limited in flexibility, dexterity and mobility in unstructured environments.

At the same time labor shortages and cost pressures demand new automation approaches. Advancements in AI, vision systems and sensor technology now enable a new generation of more intelligent, versatile and autonomous robots for complex industrial environments.

The key question is no longer if these technologies will be adopted, but how quickly and effectively companies can benefit from them.

To identify opportunities for manufacturing companies, the Fraunhofer IPT is forming a consortium to conduct a trend study aimed at making future technological and market developments tangible.
