EmPReSs - Empowerment in tomorrows`s production

EmPReSs - Empowerment in tomorrows`s production
This video provides an overview of our recently concluded interdisciplinary research project EmPReSs that aimed at integrating human labor and AI-assisted robots in industrial assembly lines. It features the development of our Mixed-Skill concept, detailing its application in creating more adaptable and people-focused production environments. The video further outlines our efforts in assessing and implementing measures to enhance worker empowerment, which have been demonstrated via a real-world prototype.
