Imagine a factory floor where machines not only monitor themselves but also learn, adapt and alert human operators before things go wrong, all while keeping the human firmly in control. This is not a distant vision. It’s what the COGNIMAN architecture aims to deliver. Developed as part of the Horizon Europe project COGNIMAN and recently …

When AI starts making decisions in manufacturing, who’s really in control? As AI systems become more autonomous in manufacturing, this question becomes increasingly urgent—and it’s exactly what COGNIMAN partners gathered to address. Hosted by DeepBlue in Rome, our partner responsible for the ethics dimension in COGNIMAN, the partners delved into practical ethics integration, moving beyond …

During the recent coding day in Paris, experts from Montimage, Norce, IBM, IRT, SINTEF and CROOM worked together on advancing a solution involving robotics. Additive manufacturing of medical implants requires highly sophisticated post-processing to make sure no sharp edges remain, which could potentially damage tissue later on at any point – a process which is …
