Review of the 'Human Robot Forum 2017'
At the end of October 2017, the WEKA Akademie organized the 2nd 'Forum Mensch Roboter' together with the specialist medium Computer&AUTOMATION. The two-day conference focused on the question: How can workers and robots work together safely and effectively in the future?
In the age of Industry 4.0, collaboration between humans and robots is considered an important cornerstone of flexible manufacturing concepts. However, many potential users are obviously still struggling with its implementation. Questions that are asked again and again: Is HRC safe? What about productivity? How do I communicate the new "robot colleague" to my workforce? These questions were the focus of the 2nd 'Human Robot Forum', which took place on October 23 and 24 in Stuttgart. - Impressions of this in the following picture gallery:
