Cognitive robotics belongs to the fields of artificial intelligence, automation and robots. It describes a new generation of robots that not only execute commands, but can also "think" and learn. These robots are equipped with artificial intelligence and can perceive their environment, assess situations and make decisions independently.
In contrast to traditional industrial robots, which always repeat the same, pre-programmed sequences, cognitive robotics operates flexibly. For example, a robot can independently recognise whether an object has fallen and pick it up without a human giving it precise instructions. This makes cognitive robots particularly interesting for complex tasks where autonomy and adaptability are required.
An illustrative example: In modern warehouses, cognitive robots sort parcels. They use sensors and cameras to recognise which parcels belong where, react to unexpected obstacles and automatically adjust their route. This makes work more efficient and flexible and reduces the workload of human colleagues. Cognitive robotics is therefore an important step towards an intelligent and autonomous working world.
