While 100\% QC requires every part to be inspected, this task can be reduced when a human-in-the-loop QC process gets supported by an anomaly detection system that only presents those parts for manual inspection that have a significant likelihood of being defective.

It is driven by the need for developing and applying solutions for digital production. Digitization receives constantly increasing attention in many areas, especially in industry. The common theme is to make things smart by using intelligent computer technology. Especially in the last decade there have been many attempts to improve existing processes in factories, for example, in production logistics, also with deploying cyber-physical systems. An initiative that explores challenges and opportunities for robots in such a setting is the RoboCup Logistics League. Since its foundation in 2012 it is an international effort for research and education in an intra-warehouse logistics scenario. During seven years of competition a lot of knowledge and experience regarding autonomous robots was gained. This knowledge and experience shall provide the basis for further research in challenges of future production. The focus of our SMART-FACTORY is to create a stimulating environment for research on logistics robotics, for teaching activities in computer science and electrical engineering programmes as well as for industrial users to study and explore the feasibility of future technologies. Building on a very successful history in the RoboCup Logistics League we aim to provide stakeholders with a dedicated facility oriented at their individual needs.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinPotgieterSteinbauer2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Potgieter, Anet and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Self-aware robots - What do we need from learning, deliberation, and reactive control?}, series = {HYCAS 2009 : International Workshop on Hybrid Control of Autonomous Systems : Integrating Learning, Deliberation and Reactive Control : Pasadena, Calif., 13 July 2009}, booktitle = {HYCAS 2009 : International Workshop on Hybrid Control of Autonomous Systems : Integrating Learning, Deliberation and Reactive Control : Pasadena, Calif., 13 July 2009}, publisher = {AAAI Pr.}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @book{FerreinPauliSiebeletal.2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Pauli, J. and Siebel, N.
