Considering constantly increasing demand for shift from mass production to mass customization and the need to maintain high level of automation despite permanent changes in manufacturing technologies and tools new approaches and solutions have to be provided in manufacturing. Cyber-Physical Systems and Industrial Internet of Things are enabling smart manufacturing to tackle the challenge of data processing, integration and interpretation, but beyond uniformed data collection and visualization. The cognitive approach is argued to introduce brain and biologically-inspired algorithms capable to better adapt industrial systems for unforeseen conditions. Such approach should provide flexible and robust solution for manufacturing systems, enabling new level of adaptability and re-configurability in the system by self-X capabilities. In this paper contemporary solutions applicable for introduction of cognitive capabilities in manufacturing systems are studied and the architecture for cognitive manufacturing system employing benefits of Industrial Internet and Cognitive control is proposed.

Bat wings contain dozens of joints that enable the animal to perform aggressive maneuvers by means of changing the wing shape during flight. There is evidence that the inertial forces produced by their wings during flapping have a key role in the attitude movements of the animal, i.e. aerial rotations. In fact, bats efficiently generate net body forces to manoeuvre by taking advantage of their large wing-to-body mass ratio. In this paper, the following question is formulated: Could a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) inspired by the biomechanics of bats take advantage of the morphing-wings aimed at increasing net body forces? Using BaTboT, a novel bat-like MAV with highly articulated wings actuated by shape memory alloy actuators, our goal is to quantify the effects of different wing modulation patterns on the generation of net body forces. Experiments are carried out to confirm the important physical role that changing the wing shape enables: the contraction time of the wings (upstroke) should be faster than the extension time (downstroke), taking about 37.5% of the wingbeat period. This modulation pattern has enabled a lift force increment of 22% (from L = 0.92N to L = 1.12N), abrupt drag reduction (from D = 0.22N to D = 0.11N) and also an increase of net body forces (Fnet) about 28% compared to those wing modulation patterns defined with equal periods for contraction/extension. These findings can be useful for accurate dynamics modelling and efficient design of flight controllers applied to morphing-wing micro aerial vehicles.

Robots caring for the older population in care facilities and at home is an ongoing theme in HRI research. Research projects on this topic exist all over the globe in the USA, Europe, and asia. All of these projects have the overall ambitious goal to increase the well-being of older adults and to enable them to stay at home as long as possible. In this workshop we want to reflect whether the HRI community is trapped in stereotypes when it comes to socially assistive robots for older adults? Therefore we want to gather and compare findings from user needs analysis, user evaluation studies, as well as interaction scenarios and functionalities of existing care robots. Are our results suggesting similar scenarios? Do older end users in all countries have similar needs and desires when it comes to assistive robots? What are the challenges and opportunities for future assistive robots (maybe for those we develop for ourselves when we belong to the older population...) also on an ethical and legal level? In this workshop we want to escape the stereotype trap what socially assistive robots should do. Can socially assistive robots solve the aging population problem on a societal and individual level? Are older people in general technology opponents? Will robotic helpers be accepted in the home as long as they pretend to be social actors?

This paper deals with the problem of unicycle mobile robot navigation in cluttered environments. It presents in particular an approach which permits to verify the stability of the control architecture of mobile robot using the reachability analysis. To perform this analysis, we consider the robot as a hybrid dynamic system. The latter is modeled by an hybrid automata in order to verify the reachability property by using the interval analysis. The simulation results validate the proposed control architecture.
