"Learning robots" are at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, automation and Industry 4.0. They are machines that learn independently through experience and data instead of just rigidly executing predefined commands. This means that such robots repeatedly analyse tasks and improve their processes independently, just as we humans learn from mistakes and successes.
A good example: In car production, there are robots that initially carry out simple tasks, such as assembling parts. Learning robots recognise when something does not fit exactly and adapt their movements with each repetition. They gradually work faster and more accurately because they learn from their own processes.
This makes processes more flexible and efficient, especially where requirements are constantly changing. In addition, learning robots can react to unexpected situations and take on new tasks without having to be completely reprogrammed. Companies benefit from lower error rates, less downtime and increased productivity. With learning robots, production can be made smarter, more adaptable and more sustainable.
