Donnerstag 25 April 2024 6 | Messe aktuell HANNOVER MESSE DAILY 2024 How do social factors such as ethics and social responsibility influence the development and use of robot technologies? Especially in rapidly changing geopolitical and social times ethics and responsibility should be a driving force in the use of robotics and AI The degree to which robotics can be used outside of industry is very narrow What trends are emerging in robotics and which areas are likely to benefit most from? The trends in ecommerce in changes to our diet in urban living and also in the service sector will give new impetus to innovation in robotics as these areas are not or only slightly automated today Itherefore see logistics the construction industry agriculture and the skilled trades but also service care and the use of social robots in hospitals as beneficiaries of the coming innovations How can small and mediumsized enterprises benefit from robot technologies? Many of the new technologies from startups but also from manufacturers that are already leaders in their fields are aimed at small and mediumsized enterprises On the road to doityourself robotics SMEs in particular will benefit from the new robotics with a focus on quick and easy operation and commissioning Iam very optimistic about the future ahead of us as Application Park Hall 5 Deutscher Robotik Verband www robotikverband de We need to prepare for change Robotics is an integral part of Hannover Messe Ahighlight this year is the Application Park in Hall 5 which has a strong partner at its side in the German Robotics Association DRV In an interview with Annina Schopen Helmut Schmid CEO of the association talks about artificial intelligence in robotics the impact on the training of the labour force as well as trends and obstacles in the introduction of robot technologies There are robots of all sizes everywhere at Hannover Messe but this year for the first time there will be an Application Park What will be on display there? Where will the focus be? The German Robotics Association and Hannover Messe want to give startups and smaller robotics companies the opportunity to present themselves well at an international trade fair The focus will be on applicationoriented and new solutions How did the cooperation between the DRV and the Hannover Messe come about? We had been in dialogue for some time and were looking for a way to showcase robotics applications from smaller innovative companies at the trade fair in a condensed form With the idea of the Application Park and the cooperation at the Robotics Congress in the runup to the fair we then realised this together Iam very excited to see whether we have succeeded AI is a major topic at the Hannover Messe and of course in robotics Is the combination of robots and AI really suitable for alleviating the shortage of skilled labour? Iam convinced of this and the speed of development and the merging of the two areas shows that the combination works very well As we will already be short of 4 to 6 million skilled workers in 2030 we need multiple approaches to alleviate this shortage This includes a good migration policy education and training a reduction in regula tions and bureaucracy a good energy policy and above all more investment in robotics and AI Where and in which applications is AI particularly noticeable in robots? What can it do that was not possible before? The programming and operation of robots will be much easier and faster in future thanks to the use of speech gestures and images This will also make areas outside of industry more accessible The field of social robots in particular is likely to receive a boost from this How has robotics developed in recent years and which new applications or technologies are particularly noteworthy? In the last ten years the cobot in particular has had its breakthrough in robotics among SMEs thanks to its ease of use and versatility Mobile robotics is now experiencing enormous popularity which we also want to demonstrate in the Application Park Ifind the hype surrounding humanoid robots and the enormous amount of money that is being invested in this technology particularly remarkable even if there are still no industrial applications to be found today What opportunities and challenges arise from the use of robots in terms of safety efficiency and costs? Robot safety has always been important but the new standardisation makes it even more challenging to implement With the right choice of applications the efficiency of the robot is generally undisputed and the increase in productivity is preprogrammed In the end every company will have an eye on costs and profitability which means that new developments will focus precisely on this What impact will advancing automation have on the training and qualification of the labour force? In my opinion our current education and training system is not well prepared for the upcoming changes brought about by robotics and AI New job profiles will emerge in a very short space of time but a few existing ones will also disappear We need to prepare for this as quickly as possible so that the next generation but also the current generation can cope better with the new requirements and changes Helmut Schmid CEO German Robotics Association Image Deutscher Robotik Verband
