🤖 Flexible assembly automation demands reliable and efficient localization for #mobile #robots, yet existing approaches often involve trade-offs. While #LiDAR #SLAM achieves high accuracy, mobile robots relying on prebuilt LiDAR maps for localization can struggle in dynamic shop-floor environments, where frequent changes quickly render maps outdated, highlighting the trade-off between accuracy and adaptability. In contrast, #5G NR-based positioning enables global localization (that is, estimating a robot’s position without a prior map or known starting pose) with minimal sensor overhead, a promising alternative for scalable automation where #5G infrastructure is already deployed. 💡 In this use case, we benchmarked 5G based positioning against #OptiTrack and #SLAM ground truth for mobile robotics in flexible assembly scenarios. The results highlight how 5G technologies can enable the localization of multiple robotic assets, estimating positions even before a map is available. This collaboration between the Manufacturing Vertical of TARGET-X at Werkzeugmaschinenlabor, WZL der RWTH Aachen University, and Ericsson marks another step toward the evolution of intelligent production systems beyond 5G. 🔗 #TARGETX #5G #MobileRobotics #FlexibleAssembly #WZL #Ericsson #6G #SNSJU #Innovation #Manufacturing

The Shuttle2X project has successfully concluded at Bosch Research, marking an important step toward connected and cooperative automated driving! Throughout the project, we explored how 5G NR sidelink communication can enhance vehicle perception and safety by enabling direct V2X exchanges between vehicles and infrastructure. By integrating sidelink-based connectivity with infrastructure sensing, we demonstrated how automated shuttles can share awareness data in real time and perceive beyond their onboard sensors. A great milestone for telecommunication-driven perception and connected mobility — made possible through strong collaboration across all partners!

The Industrial Process and PV Systems Monitoring Group of the SEMS Department at IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya presented an advanced prototype system for the inspection of nanometric semiconductor layers at the 3rd edition of the Manufacturing Partnership Days, organised by the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA) at Brussels. The event brings together Horizon Europe projects under Cluster 4 – Digital, Industry and Space, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among leading European innovation initiatives. 👉 The presented system enables real-time evaluation of nanometric layers deposited on complex multilayer structures, allowing estimation of thickness and composition through a multimodal analytical approach combined with machine-learning-based self-learning algorithms. This technology provides a flexible and adaptable solution applicable to a wide range of industrial and research contexts, including photovoltaics, encapsulation technologies, and battery systems, where accurate thin-layer characterisation is essential. Designed for both laboratory use and in-line industrial integration, the system delivers fast and cost-efficient insights that are currently inaccessible through conventional techniques, which tend to be slow, expensive, and limited to specific cases. This prototype is the result of research led by IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya within the framework of the European project Platform-ZERO (Grant Agreement No. 101058459), funded by the Horizon Europe Programme. #IRECprojects #IRECevents
