Decide-and-Place-Anwendungen sind ein zentrales Einsatzgebiet der Robotik. Sie werden häufig in der Industrie genutzt, um Montageprozesse zu beschleunigen und manuelle Tätigkeiten zu reduzieren – ein spannendes Thema für Informatik Masteranden des Instituts für datenoptimierte Fertigung der Hochschule Kempten. Sie entwickelten einen Roboter, der Prozesse durch den Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz und Laptop Imaginative and prescient optimiert. Auf Foundation einer Montagezeichnung ist das System in der Lage, einzelne Bauteile zu greifen und an vorgegebener Stelle abzulegen – vergleichbar mit einem Puzzle. Anschließend können die Teile dort manuell durch einen Mitarbeiter verklebt werden.
Zwei IDS Industriekameras liefern die nötigen Bildinformationen
Mithilfe von zwei uEye XC Kameras und einer KI-gestützten Bildverarbeitung analysiert das System die Umgebung und berechnet präzise Aufnahme- sowie Ablagekoordinaten. Eine der Kameras wurde dazu über der Arbeitsfläche platziert, die andere über der Entnahmestelle. Konkret verarbeitet eine KI-Pipeline die Bilder der beiden Kameras in mehreren Schritten, um die exakte Lage und Ausrichtung der Objekte zu bestimmen. Mithilfe der Laptop-Imaginative and prescient-Algorithmen und neuronalen Netzen erkennt das System relevante Merkmale, berechnet die optimalen Greifpunkte und generiert präzise Koordinaten für die Aufnahme und Ablage der Objekte. Zudem identifiziert das System die Teile eindeutig, indem es ihre Oberfläche segmentiert und die Konturen mit einer Datenbank abgleicht. Darüber hinaus nutzt es die Ergebnisse, um eine Annäherung an bereits abgelegte Teile zu ermöglichen. Die Automatisierungslösung reduziert damit die Abhängigkeit von Expertenwissen, verkürzt Prozesszeiten und wirkt dem Fachkräftemangel entgegen.
Schnittstelle, Sensor, Baugröße und Preis waren die Kriterien, die für die Wahl des Kameramodells entscheidend waren. Die uEye XC kombiniert die Benutzerfreundlichkeit einer Webcam mit der Leistungsfähigkeit einer Industriekamera. Sie erfordert lediglich eine Kabelverbindung für den Betrieb. Ausgestattet mit einem 13-MP-onsemi-Sensor (AR1335) liefert die Autofokus-Kamera hochauflösende Bilder und Movies. Eine wechselbare Makro-Aufsatzlinse ermöglicht eine verkürzte Objektdistanz, wodurch die Kamera auch für Nahbereichsanwendungen geeignet ist. Auch ihre Einbindung struggle denkbar einfach, wie Raphael Seliger, Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Hochschule Kempten, erklärt: „Wir binden die Kameras über die IDS peak Schnittstelle an unser Python Backend an.“
Zukünftig soll das System durch Reinforcement Studying weiterentwickelt werden – einer Methode des maschinellen Lernens, die auf Lernen durch Versuch und Irrtum beruht. „Wir möchten gerne die KI-Funktionen ausbauen, um die Decide-and-Place Vorgänge intelligenter zu gestalten. Unter Umständen benötigen wir dafür eine zusätzliche Kamera direkt am Roboterarm“, erläutert Seliger. Geplant ist zudem eine automatische Genauigkeitsprüfung der abgelegten Teile. Langfristig soll der Roboter allein anhand der Montagezeichnung alle erforderlichen Schritte eigenständig ausführen können.
The EU’s cap-and-trade scheme — the Emissions Buying and selling System (ETS) — launched information exhibiting that taking part sectors have diminished emission to 50 p.c of 2005 ranges.
The reductions maintain the EU on monitor to fulfill its 62 p.c emissions lower by 2030 purpose — thanks, largely, to a 12 p.c emissions discount seen within the energy sector.
The ETS’s progress proves local weather mitigation economics could be a success, proper because the EU has been slowly shifting proper after its 2024 elections.
The European Union’s oft-criticized Emissions Buying and selling System (EU ETS) has diminished emissions from taking part sectors by 50 p.c, based on new information, within the course of serving to the EU keep on monitor to realize its 2030 goal of reducing emissions by 62 p.c.
The assigns a cap to the carbon dioxide produced by firms, whereas creating incentives to cut back these emissions. EU ETS is much like cap-and-trade legal guidelines established in U.S. states, together with like Washington and California. European firms buy a set quantity of emission allowances that covers their anticipated emissions for one 12 months. If an organization emits greater than its allotted allowances, it should both buy allowances from different firms that got here in beneath their cap, or pay a wonderful.
The value of carbon is ready by the market, as firms purchase and promote allowances.
As of March 31, 2025, sectors coated by the system demonstrated a 5 p.c discount in complete emissions in 2024, in comparison with 2023 ranges, slicing ETS emissions to round half of 2005 ranges.
The sectors coated embrace:
Electrical energy technology: The main sector in reducing emissions, energy producers diminished emissions by 12 p.c beneath 2023 ranges, pushed principally by elevated renewable power.
Business: Essentially the most wide-reaching of the classes, this class consists of the energy-intensive manufacturing of fertilizer and cement, amongst others. Business emissions remained secure from 2023 to 2024.
Aviation: The one class to see an increase in emissions, aviation elevated by 15 p.c in comparison with 2023, probably because of the re-inclusion of non-domestic flights not too long ago added beneath ETS guidelines.
Maritime: The most recent sector to enter the system lacks earlier information on emissions for comparability.
In the meantime, elections in the summertime of 2024 noticed the make-up of EU representatives shift to the suitable. Far-right teams from Germany, France, and Italy amongst others gained 189 seats within the EU, greater than 1 / 4 of the entire.
LOS ANGELES — Faraday Future Clever Electrical Inc. (Nasdaq: FFAI) (“FF”, “Faraday Future”, or the “Firm”), a California-based international shared clever electrical mobility ecosystem firm, final week previewed the entrance fascia design of its first potential Faraday X (FX) mannequin, which is at the moment deliberate to roll off the road by the tip of 2025. The Firm expects to carry the primary official car reveal occasion in June of this 12 months and start accumulating reservations quickly. The FX model is deliberate to focus on the mass market section, advancing a brand new chapter within the Firm’s general product technique. FX at the moment plans for as much as three fashions: an AI-MPV product — named the Tremendous One, the FX 5, and the FX 6, specializing in the $20,000–$80,000 base worth section.
ABOUT FARADAY FUTURE
