Node Highlights
AI-MATTERS TU/e setup in Eindhoven, Netherlands
The Dutch node builds on already existing facilities and infrastructure, both physical and digital:
- The main location is Brainport Industries Campus (BIC), including TNO Remanufacturing Lab.
The second facility at TU/e is the testing environment for advanced autonomous systems that function in the real world. From cobots for package handling and bin-picking to mobile robot teams for intra-logistics and inspection – this is where worked on the future of automation!
- Complementary setups at various TNO locations, including mobile setups for on-site service provisioning
Examples of AI technologies shown
- Human-robot interaction: cobot-assisted assembly
- Semi-automatically generated Work Instructions based on CAD or video/speech, projected onto assembly station, tailored to operator experience level
- Dual robot assembly station
