Join us for an insightful webinar on Edge-Controlled Automation with Mobile Manipulation, where we explore the integration of edge computing, 5G connectivity, and mobile robots in modern manufacturing. 

Date: 10 April 2025 

Time: 14:00 – 15:30 CET 

Register here.

In this session, we will dive into a real-world use case that demonstrates how edge computing and 5G technology enable real-time control of mobile manipulators for efficient (dis)assembly processes. By offloading computationally demanding tasks—such as SLAM-based localization, path and motion planning, and AI-driven object perception—to an edge server, the system significantly improves efficiency while reducing the processing load on onboard systems. 

With reliable, low-latency 5G communication, high-bandwidth sensor data, including 2D/3D LiDAR point clouds and camera streams, can be transmitted seamlessly, ensuring precise and responsive robot operations. This setup addresses the limitations of traditional wireless networks, empowering robots to perform complex tasks in dynamic and fast-paced production environments. Your speaker is Lucas Manassés, Research Associate from the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University and TARGET-X Work Package Leader. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the results of a manufacturing use-case from the EU-funded project TARGET-X.  

 We look forward to your participation! If you would like to learn more about the TARGET-X project, you can find all upcoming webinars here.
