From 9–12 September 2025, the prestigious 30th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA 2025) took place in Porto, Portugal. ETFA is the flagship conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society focusing on the latest research results, engineering innovations, and trends in industrial and factory automation. The RAASCEMAN project was actively represented at the conference, showcasing its latest research contributions and collaborations.
RAASCEMAN was proudly represented at the conference with four scientific contributions. Three of these were prepared and presented by our colleagues from DFKI. The first paper, The Role of Technical Documentation in Enabling Automated Generation of Machine Capabilities, authored by Patrick Kremser, Tatjana Legler, and Martin Ruskowski, explored how structured documentation can be leveraged to support automation and machine capability generation. A second contribution, Capability Determination in Manufacturing Using Historical Data, authored by Marco Simon, Patrick Kremser, Tatjana Legler, and Martin Ruskowski, addressed the use of data-driven approaches to assess and optimize manufacturing capabilities. The third paper, Composing Relative Spatial Location Models in Skill-based Robotic Reconfigurable Cyber-Physical Production Modules, authored by Aleksandr Sidorenko, Martin Ruskowski, and Achim Wagner, focused on flexible robotics and spatial modeling in reconfigurable production systems.
Together with our colleagues from CEA, RAASCEMAN was represented by four papers in total, which is a strong contribution and great recognition of the project’s involvement in the international research community. We warmly thank all authors for their excellent work and for representing the RAASCEMAN project so successfully at this leading international conference.
