In the upcoming ZAL discourse, Teccon, Wingcopter, and ZAL GmbH will discuss the current technical status of hydrogen-powered drones, their certification, as well as present-day and future use cases. What's special is that in a small accompanying exhibition, the speakers will showcase three different models of hydrogen drones that are already flying today.
READ MORESelf-taught Robots (AIARA)
he aviation industry is increasingly relying on automation and manufacturing robots to address the increase in production rates as well as the shortage of skilled workers. In contrast to the automotive industry, production volumes in aircraft manufacturing are relatively low, so establishing rigid production lines would be inefficient. The AIARA research project, therefore, investigates the possibility of using manufacturing robots with minimal effort in different areas. AI-based approaches should enable them to independently acquire new tasks.
