Next Generation Fabrication

Engineers design functional parts while machinists fabricate them. To overcome this gap between design and production the project Cognitive Machine Shop (CogMaSh) has been founded within the cluster of excellence Cognition for Technical Systems (CoTeSys). By integrating cognitive capabilities – which means planning, reasoning, self-awareness, learning – and integrating them into a fabrication system we will enable for the autonomous and unattended production of customized and high variant parts traditionally produced by workshops with their highly skilled people.
