The paper presents a novel concept of lightweight and inherently safe robotic systems for assisting the locomotion recovery therapy and training. This concept, referred to as STRING-MAN, is established on string-puppet idea and utilizes modular wire robot components and advanced artificial muscles drives. An overview of the system's fundamental components, such as mechanical structure, patient-machine interface, sensory systems, control algorithms, etc., is given in the paper. The results of initial experiments clearly demonstrate the benefits and potential of new concept. Finally further development of STRING-MAN idea towards practical and inherently safe robotic rehabilitation assistants has also been presented.

PISA is a European Integrated Project (IP) in the research area “next generation of flexible assembly technology and processes”. The general aim of the project is to develop intelligent assist systems (IAS) in order to support the human worker instead of replacing him. Thus, flexibility should not be reached through fully automated assembly systems but should instead support the better integration of human workers. This paper gives a report on the project, launched in September 2006.

Today more and more essential processes are conducted across enterprise borders, inducing additional challenges in terms of different languages, process types and ontology. Business process modelling (BPM) and Simulation are well-understood methods to analyze and optimize the processes within an enterprise. However, they can also be used for cross-organizational application, especially if they are combined with reference structures. This paper explains techniques which support cross-enterprise design and configuration based on Reference Models. Thereby, different approaches such as SCOR, the integrated enterprise modelling (IEM) and a specific distributed simulation method are used and integrated into a consistent reference model approach. The application of this approach is illustrated with different projects which each focus on a specific aspect of the supply chain design and configuration

The main issue of this paper is the model check for distribution networks based on formal methods. The network modelling is performed by means of an XML-based language. The modelling language was developed in order to make use of the advantages of the XML technologies for the parsing of model descriptions and the model processing. Moreover, methods for model verification based on XML Schema mechanisms as well as by means of a formal interpretation of the model network structure were also designed. The modelling language is developed within the framework of an European research and development project XNetMod "XML Based Modelling Language for Simulation of Technical Networks" (CRAFT-IST Contract No. 2001-52057)

In today's industrial production, men and robots usually work separately from each another to avoid accidents. Thus, there are two types of manufacturing: the automated and the manual one. Both have its advantages and disadvantages. If it would be possible to overcome the separation of man and robot, the accuracy and speed of robots could be combined with the flexibility and reliability of human workers. The main concern of this cooperation is the safety of the worker. A system based on digital image analysis has been developed, which supervises the working area to avoid collisions between robot and man
