• Robots offer an ideal solution for repetitive assembly tasks and are already widely used in highly efficient industrial production.
• A key challenge is automated manufacturing under uncertainties in part poses and geometries, which we address using machine learning methods.
• Transfer of real manufacturing tasks into simulation as digital twins
• Automated generation of large datasets through augmentation
• Training (Reinforcement/Imitation Learning) of large base models (Vision–Language–Action) using simulation and real-world data
