Robotik in der Logistik – Einsatzpotenziale, Herausforderungen und Trends

Towards an Artificial Perception Framework for Autonomous Robots in Logistics

“…A vivid example of this is the German automotive industry, where a model increase of almost 50% from 2007 to 2019 was predicted. 2 This contrasts with the shortage of skilled workers in logistics. In addition to demographic change (especially in industrialized countries), this is further supported by forecasts of an increase in the level of education [3].…”

“…However, today's systems are still far from the vision of flexible, fully automated material flow. The reasons for this include the lack of robustness and flexibility of the systems in the complex industrial environment as well as the high variance of logistics processes [2]. In practice, these problems are currently being countered with humans in key positions who have a general, non-task-specific flexibility [2].…”

“…New technologies and innovations not only address these challenges, but can also generate a sustainable competitive advantage. Especially development in the field of robotics is increasingly applied in logistics and is thus considered a key technology towards a fully automated and flexible material flow [2]. These robots are gradually transforming from rigid automatons to intelligent machines.…”
