io.festo.comFesto.IO_2023 - Ant-inspired robotsFesto2023-08-08 | Speaker: Barbara Webb (University of Edinburgh)
Ants are highly capable in many behaviours relevant to robotics. Their navigational abilities have been the focus of behavioural and ethological study for many years, and a range of algorithmic models of their behaviour have been proposed, often tested in robot implementations. Our recent work has focussed on bridging the gap to understanding the neural circuits that underly capacitities such as visual orientation, path integration, and the combination of multiple cues. In each case there is an important interplay between exploiting critical sensory cues in the natural environment, and the efficient and robust computation that supports behavioural control. A new direction for this research is to investigate the manipulation capabilites of ants, which allow them to handle a wide diversity of arbitrary, unknown objects with a skill that goes well beyond current robotics.
io.festo.comFesto.IO_2023 - Toward Object Manipulation Without Explicit ModelsFesto2023-08-08 | Speaker: Dieter Fox (University of Washington)
The prevalent approach to object manipulation is based on the availability of explicit 3D object models. By estimating the pose of such models in a scene, a robot can readily reason about how to pick up an object, place it in a stable position, or avoid collisions. Unfortunately, assuming the availability of object models constrains the settings in which a robot can operate, and noise in estimating a model's pose can result in brittle manipulation performance. In this talk, I will discuss work on learning to manipulate unknown objects directly from visual (depth) data. Without any explicit 3D object models, these approaches are able to segment unknown object instances and manipulate them even in cluttered scenes. I will also present recent work on combining language instructions with action-centric representations to efficiently teach robots a variety of manipulation tasks. I'll conclude with a discussion of the role simulation can play in the future of robotics.
io.festo.comFesto.IO_2023 - Generative Design - Can AI build machinesFesto2023-08-08 | Speaker: Jan Seyler
Generative models are currently a very present area of artificial intelligence. Since the publication of language models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT as well as text-to-image models based on them like DALL-E 2, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, this topic has also arrived in the wider public. The talk explores the potential that the combination of generative evolutionary design and AI models can have for the development of technical components and mechanical engineering. First research results will be shown and challenges will also be discussed based on these results. In the end, the audience will get a clearer picture of whether artificial intelligence can build machines.
The world of IT continues to evolve and in the future more and more applications will be deployed in containers. For the orchestration of these workloads, Kubernetes has already become indispensable. To meet the needs of a modern IT infrastructure, we at Festo also offer this technology to our customers.
In our presentation, we would like to explain the possibilities that Kubernetes offers and especially point out the advantages of running an application in a Kubernetes cluster compared to running it on a conventional virtual machine. The main benefits of Kubernetes we will focus on include: resilience, automatic scaling, cost efficiency and zero downtime patching. To conclude the presentation, we would like to show how Kubernetes is already being used effectively at Festo today.

io.festo.comFesto.IO_2023 - Automation and Optimization of ML PipelinesFesto2023-08-08 | Speaker: Samir Araújo de Souza (Amazon Web Services)
ML model industrialization is a mandatory step for organizations that seek to scale up ML model building processes to hundreds or even thousands of training jobs per day. Automation is a natural path to improve time to market which allows you to deploy more ML models to production, minimizing failures, improving reproducibility/reliability, reducing cost/time to build new ML models, etc. You start by automating your ML Pipelines (MLOps), then you optimize the whole processes and finally you optimize each step for maximum performance. ML model optimization is an important topic in this process, given it can reduce the overall cost of your solution, improve user experience and be more sustainable. In this session, let’s explore both topics (Automation and ML Model optimization) and see how we can translate business challenges into “small industries” that build/deploy ML models to the cloud and to the edge.

The open-source philosophy has enabled massive advances in software and information technology, but adoption in automation has been limited. By adopting open-source practices, automation hardware companies can create a global ecosystem of developers who have maximum flexibility to create new software for controlling their devices. An open-source developer ecosystem could have tremendous capacity to iterate quickly on building new tools, and may help usher in a new generation of automation software.
