To reduce energy consumption for sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing, a good understanding of the dynamic energy consumption patterns on the manufacturing shop floor is essential. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to address the challenge of missing operation context information during in-situ energy data measurement. Finite-State Machines (FSMs) are used to model the engineering processes, and a two-stage framework for online classification of real time energy measurement data in terms of machine operation states is proposed for energy audit and machine management. The first stage uses advanced signal processing techniques to reduce noise while preserving important features, and the second stage uses intelligent pattern recognition algorithms to cluster energy consumption patterns. Our proposed two-stage framework is evaluated on an industrial injection moulding system using a Savizky-Golay (SG) filter and a Neural Network (NN), and our experimental results show a 95.85% accuracy in identification of machine operation states.

Human interaction is highly intuitive: we infer reactions of our opponents mainly from what we have learned in years of experience and often assume that other people have the same knowledge about certain situations, abilities, and expectations as we do. In human-robot interaction (HRI) we cannot take for granted that this is equally true since HRI is asymmetrical. In other words, robots have different abilities, knowledge, and expectations than humans. They need to react appropriately to human expectations and behaviour. With this respect, scientific advances have been made to date for applications in entertainment and service robotics that largely depend on intuitive interaction. However, HRI today is often still unnatural, slow, and unsatisfactory for the human interlocutor. Both the sensorimotor interaction with environment and interlocutor, and the social aspects of the interaction still need to be researched and improved. Therefore, this full-day workshop aims to bring together researchers from different scientific fields to discuss these crosscutting issues and to exchange views on what are the preconditions and principles of intuitive interaction.

In this paper a novel decentralized approach for task sequencing within a multiple missions control framework is presented. The main contribution of this work concerns the decentralization of a control framework for multiple mission execution in order to enhance the robustness of the system, and the application of the latter to a heterogeneous robotic network. The proposed approach is based on the Matrixbased Discrete Event Framework (MDEF). This formalism is adapted to networks of heterogeneous robots, i.e., robots with different capabilities, and to the decentralized control of mission execution using a consensus-based approach which guarantees the agreement among robots on executed actions and their consequences.
In this paper, we present a Bayesian framework for recovering the occluded facial image without the aid of manual face alignment or user-specified occlusion region. The proposed Bayesian framework unifies the recovery...
