The term "resource-adaptive robotics" is particularly at home in the fields of robots, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as artificial intelligence. The aim here is for robots to learn independently how to optimise the use of their available resources such as energy, tools or time. The aim is to complete tasks as efficiently as possible without wasting resources unnecessarily.
Compared to conventional robots, resource-adaptive robots are flexible: they can adapt to changing environments and challenges. For example, such a robot in a factory recognises when a spare part is missing during machine maintenance and adapts its work schedule independently - perhaps taking on other tasks first until the part is available.
The major advantage of this technology is that it saves costs, protects the environment and increases the reliability of production processes. Resource-adaptive robotics is therefore an important step towards sustainable and intelligent solutions in modern industry.
