In March, we were able to take part in this year’s annual meeting at the Rhein-Mosel-Werkstätten in Koblenz as an exhibitor and network member of daaap.
A special highlight: The event was opened by Ms Schall, Minister for Labour, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitization in Rhineland-Palatinate, among others. She took the time to get to know the IIDEA project and was even able to try out our model workplace for herself.
We are delighted with the interest shown in our project by the participating workshops. The direct exchange, valuable discussions and new contacts show that The vision of inclusive digitalization is shared and carried forward.

Congratulations to Esteban and Gregory – they took 3rd place at this year’s championship at FANUC in Neuhausen and thus won bronze!
The task: a challenging battery assembly that had to be completed in just three days. The standard was particularly high this year and for the first time eight teams took part.
We are very proud of our two talents! Many thanks to Sophie Charlotte for making this participation possible!

We kicked-off our new project “AuBa@C – Automation of Battery Disassembly using Advanced Hardware and Software for Battery Recycling” together with cylib. Here at IGMR, we conduct research into automated disassembly using robots. In the project together with cylib, we can transfer our expertise from projects such as Bots2ReC, SHEREC or di.monta to the disassembly of EV batteries.
We are excited to collaborate with cylib (Dr. Stefan-Octavian Bezrucav (Head of Pre-Processing and Robotics Expert) and Sara Ognjanovic (Project Manager for Automation in Battery Discharge and Disassembly).)
This project is supported by the “KUER.NRW | Grüne Gründungen Nordrhein-Westfalen” funding initiative, under the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE/JTF NRW 2021-2027), coordinated by the Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Projektträger Jülich (PtJ).

Fully automatic disassembly with precision!
Our new robotic system is revolutionizing the disassembly of electric car batteries. Using the Neura Lara 8 robot and the latest image processing technologies, we recognize screws fully automatically and position the robot precisely to remove them safely.
Thanks to the integration of YOLOv8 and Intel RealSense depth cameras, the system can locate screws in real time and position them optimally on its own. No manual intervention necessary – the system works completely autonomously!
Our goal: to make the recycling process safer, faster and more efficient. Fewer risks for workers and maximizing the recovery of raw materials at the same time. This is the future of the circular economy!

At the ASME IDETC-CIE conference in Washington, DC, we had the opportunity to present the prototype of the “3D Capsule Compliant Gripper”. This novel surgical manipulation tool was specifically designed to make lymph node isolation even more precise and gentle.
Our approach: a capsule-like structure with flexible, shape-optimized elements that have been tailored using a hill-climbing mutation algorithm. The white “petals” of the prototype were 3D printed from PLA, the red flexible components from TPU. Thanks to the cost-effective production at our institute, we were able to create the first efficient solution on a macro scale, which serves as a proof of concept.

In this video, Prof. Mathias Hüsing of the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics at RWTH Aachen University explains simple teaching options for collaborative robots, or CoBots for short, to support disabled and limited persons at work in the context of human-robot collaboration.
Robotics enables inclusion.

Our IIDEA-project team took part in a training course on the “Integration of people with disabilities into the world of work” (IMBA).
IMBA is positioned at the interface of medical and occupational rehabilitation and enables a precise description and comparison of work requirements and human abilities. The training covered the basics of IMBA, with a particular focus on the defined characteristics that serve as the basis for the assessment of work requirements and abilities. A highlight of the training was the introduction to the “Marie Plus” software, which is closely linked to the IMBA concept. The training was conducted by Torsten Alles, Ph.D., Managing Director of iqpr. His extensive knowledge and experience helped to emphasize the importance of IMBA in occupational therapy and activity-based medical rehabilitation.
We are convinced that this training will support our previous research and make a valuable contribution to the IIDEA project. We are grateful for the expertise we have gained through this training and look forward to applying the acquired knowledge in our daily work.

Delta robots are the most common parallel robots for manipulation tasks. In many industrial applications they must be operated at reduced speed or dwell times have to be included in the motion planning, to prevent frame vibrations. As a result, their full potential cannot be realized. To address this problem, this we developed the mechanical and control design of an active dynamic balancing unit for reduction of frame vibrations. In this video you can see the experimental validation of this system in a pick and place scenario. It the proposed active dynamic balancing unit provides a significant vibration reduction of about 85% for translational and 78% for rotational vibrations. The experiments were conducted on a low cost Delta robot called the Suisui Bot designed at the IGMR, in collaboration with the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Two different strategies have been proposed for the control of the balancing unit. In this video you can see the IMSC in combination with a open-loop control based on the robots inverse dynamics. Please refer here for further information on the design and control system.

In our Human-Robot Teaming group, we have a vision that humans and robots will one day be able to work together seamlessly and intuitively in a kind of human-machine symbiosis. Recently, we implemented an exploration application to demonstrate the potential of human-robot teams. The exploration includes a human capability assessment system to evaluate human potential and derive appropriate robot actions.
In the future, robots will be able to use the identified capability deltas to find gaps between human performance and the requirements of the work process. Based on these deltas, actions will be derived that do not take work away from humans, but instead increase human capabilities until the requirements are met. Such systems will enable the human-robot team to reach a state that is similar to what is called “flow”.
