Person sits at a production workplace and is supported by a collaborative robot.
The Next Generation project aims to develop inclusive workplaces with the help of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in order to improve the quality of life.
People with severe and multiple disabilities usually work below their personal cognitive abilities. This causes great dissatisfaction.
For this reason, the project “Next Generation – developing inclusive work with flexible robot solutions” develops workplaces with the aid of human-robot collaboration (HRC).
The project is intended to enable people with disabilities to participate in working life. This can increase the quality of life as well as self-determination and positive personality development.
For tasks from industry, numerous companies from the Cologne area were asked to provide possible sample applications for the conception of the inclusive workplace.
In the process, two activities at Buschhoff Stanztechnik GmbH & Co. KG and at Cölner Hofbräu P. Josef Früh KG were selected. The conception and implementation can now begin. Further up-to-date information is available on the website of the Next Generation project.
