Research topics deal with intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0, with the main aim to add industrial robots the capability to self-optimize their behavior, in order to achieve the best performance in any condition. Using model-based approaches, robot cells and plants rely on a digital twin to improve their energy efficiency, accuracy and productivity.
