At Automatica 2016 KUKA Corporate Research presented the initial results of the RobDREAM project, which is part of the larger SPARC European robotics partnership. The RobDREAM research seeks to optimize robotic operation by analyzing data and improving processes during “inactive” periods (such as during an off-shift in the evening) – much like animals do during sleep. One of the main goals was to speed up the programming and optimization of robots so that small and medium-sized enterprises don’t have to invest so much time and resources into that portion of robotic integration.
