Exoskeletons for industrial application reduce physical overload of the human body that can occur while holding up or lifting weights. To transmit physical forces, interfaces between exoskeleton and human body are required. These forces generate pressure on the skin that is covered by the interfaces. The thermal energy produced by muscle contractions and friction leads to heat stress and sweating at those areas...

The objective of this project is to improve the collaboration process for physical tasks such as repairing or maintaining of aircraft components as well as machines at industrial plants. For this purpose an Augmented Reality based Annotation System will be developed that runs on mobile hand-held devices using external depth data as input.

Humans are an essential part of the area of logistics. They are responsible for managing the warehouse inventory and need to commission products and materials. Supporting them during theses processes is one of the goals of the industry 4.0 movement. Commissioning materials and goods typically follows a workflow that includes identifying, counting and locating materials in inventories. To keep the inventory up-to-date a number of materials...

Employed personnel executing tasks in extreme environments push themselves to physical and psychological limits. During a mission, they must wear protective suits designed to preserve them from dangers while a remotely located Medical Advisor (MA) monitors physiological strain for detection of injury events. Smart suits tailored with electronic textiles (e-textiles) and small sensors can provide...

A Publish/Subscribe mechanism is not enough to serve the idea of CPS. You will implement and evaluate an extended Service orientated MQTT - Broker offering RESTful Services in combination with Authentication.

Cyber-Physical Systems are bridging the cyber and physical world enabling us to monitor and control the physical world. In this master thesis you will do research on how to identify incidents in a real production line. You will bridge the MES and the Incident Assistance System developed in cooperation with T-Systems, TUM and ProGlove. You develop the missing part of incident identification by implementing and evaluating it.
