They walk, grip, balance – and fascinate with their human-like appearance: Humanoid robots have impressive mobility and are even able to interpret facial expressions or understand language. What was still a futuristic vision just a few years ago is taking concrete shape.  Hidden behind the technological developments of humanoid robots is a complex interaction of artificial intelligence, precision mechanics and powerful drive technology. Miniaturization plays a decisive role here, as it enables compact designs with high functionality. The contribution of FAULHABER and the use of modern technologies are setting the course for the next stage in the evolution of robotics. Humanoid robots Walking on two legs is a complex matter that must be precisely controlled. Even humans need a good year before this apparently trivial sequence of movements is mastered and the interaction of approximately 200 muscles, numerous complicated joints, and various specialized regions of the brain functions. Due to the unfavorable lever ratios for humanoid robots, a motor with minimal dimensions must produce the highest possible torque, in order to be able to replicate a human-like movement. While classic robots are typically used in highly structured environments, such as industrial manufacturing or logistics, humanoid robots enter a completely new terrain: daily life. They need to orient themselves in unstructured environments in which, e.g., no living room is like the other and every task is individual. When in direct contact with people, they operate less abstractly but are rather physically present – often within close proximity. Versatility and ability to adapt Humanoid robots form the interface between artificial intelligence and the real, physical world. They are able to process not only digital information but also transform this into concrete actions. If the sequences of movements function smoothly and safely, humanoid robots can perform a number of tasks that were previously reserved for humans – be it in hazardous environments, in direct contact with people or in repetitive processes. They assist in the household, support with rehabilitation, interact with older people or are used in retail business. Their strength is in their versatility and ability to adapt to human environments. The role of drive systems At the core of every movement performed by a humanoid robot is a precise drive system. It decides how smoothly an arm is raised, how quickly a leg can respond or how gently a finger grips. Drive technology thereby has a significant impact on the performance, naturalness and safety of humanoid movements. The miniaturization, energy efficiency, dynamics and precision are central requirements here – an interaction that can be realized only with highly developed micromotors. These are all aspects that are decisive not only in robotics but also in prosthetics. The transition between humanoid robots and prosthetics is a seamless one. Modern prosthetics – especially arm or hand prosthetics – replicate the movements of the human body and use principles similar to those of humanoid robots to do this. Electromotors, sensors and precise control enable intuitive and forceful movements. Decisive in both cases is the perfect symbiosis of technology and biology – be it for the expansion of human capabilities or to replace lost functions. Future of humanoid systems Micromotors are used not only in humanoid robots but have also long found application in robotized aids, such as motorized hand and leg prosthetics. This is shown: They satisfy the highest requirements in especially sensitive and demanding applications. FAULHABER develops and manufactures high-precision drive systems that are installed worldwide in both modern prostheses and in humanoid robots. Whether for delicate finger movements or powerful stepping motions – the motors enable maximum mobility in the smallest of spaces. This is especially advantageous in dynamic movements that are necessary for replicating human gestures. Particularly as these systems are increasingly interacting directly with people, safety aspects and excellent controllability play a key role. The development of suitable concepts is essential for enabling a smooth and – above all – safe cooperation between man and machine. Protective mechanisms This is not just a question of the software control – protective mechanisms must also be integrated in the drive solution itself. FAULHABER takes this need into account with drive solutions that are both powerful and compact as well as designed for safety – ideal for demanding tasks in robotics and medical technology. In practice, this enables even brief, extreme loads without affecting the service life of the components. The close collaboration with major research institutes and development partners ensures that FAULHABER technology always remains on the cutting edge.

Through internal awareness and training programs, COMAU promotes the safe and ethical use of AI. Through its AI Competence Center, Comau is also active in technology scouting in order to standardize tools so that they respond effectively to business needs. Topic of AI agents With reference to the panel's guiding theme, Stefano Boscolo Bozza noted, "The topic of AI agents is widely discussed, not only in technological debates but also at events, in the media, and on social media. There are many definitions and just as many possibilities. At this stage, we are committed to defining which agent models are truly needed, in concrete terms, to improve our results and meet the needs of our organization." "More generally, our approach to artificial intelligence is reflected both in the development of increasingly intelligent, autonomous, and personalized products and services, and in the optimization of internal productivity, enhancing the most strategic activities. We aim to create an ecosystem in which people and technology collaborate, making AI a concrete lever for innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness."

Siemens has developed a digital twin especially for large event spaces. The technology makes it possible to realistically reproduce and simulate very precisely a building’s acoustics and structure. The Sound of Science application will be used for the first time in the Großes Festspielhaus – the Large Festival Hall – at the Salzburg Festival. Sound of Science application Orchestral formations on the stage can also be tested and arranged in advance Sound of Science will enable event organizers to virtually explore how acoustics change in different spatial configurations – for example, how adding acoustic panels affects the listening experience – in order to select the optimal acoustic scenario. Orchestral formations on the stage can also be tested and arranged in advance – before a single note is heard in the real world. This approach saves money, resources and time. Siemens to use digital twins “With Sound of Science, we’re designing the future. Digital twins are not only transforming the everyday for many companies, but are also creating new opportunities for the cultural and creative industries,” said Prof. Dr. Stephan Frucht, Artistic Director of the Siemens Arts Program. Dr. Stephan Frucht adds, “In the future, we’ll be able to plan stage productions better and even simulate them acoustically in advance. We’re delighted to have the Salzburg Festival at our side as a long-standing partner, who recognizes the opportunities such innovations offer.” Sound of Science app for select partners Siemens will make the Sound of Science app available to selected partners from the cultural world free of charge as a demonstration application. There are currently no plans to market the application. Its simulation solutions, however, may be purchased. The Salzburg Festival’s Großes Festspielhaus is the first and only large event space to date in which Sound of Science is available. However, Siemens is planning to digitally simulate further spaces – including concert halls in Germany and England. At the Salzburg Festival, audiences will have an opportunity – unique for the time being – to use VR glasses to experience the application at the festival’s opening on July 20. Siemens and the Salzburg Festival “Siemens and the Salzburg Festival share a common passion for excellence and innovation. And we’re delighted to partake in this pioneering technological development and innovation as part of our long-standing close and trust-based partnership,” said Dr. Kristina Hammer, President of the Salzburg Festival. Dr. Kristina Hammer adds, “We’re excited to see what diverse applications will stem from Sound of Science in the future.” Siemens Simcenter’s simulation solutions The technologies used are part of the simulation solutions from Siemens Simcenter The technologies used are part of the simulation solutions from Siemens Simcenter, which has been part of the company’s core business for over 15 years. The technology is mostly used in industry – for example, for the acoustic optimization of vehicle interiors or for protection against street noise. For Sound of Science, Simcenter uses a combination of impulse response measurements and ray tracing for the 3D modeling of each event space. These methods can measure the echo and reverberation of a sound and simulate how sound waves propagate in a room. Depending on the material, reflections of sound waves behave differently. Those that bounce off a concrete wall react differently from those that hit a carpet or reach the ear directly. As a result, the simulation can reproduce the individual sound signature of each event space – in other words, its acoustic DNA. Siemens Festival Nights Siemens has been working closely with the Salzburg Festival for around 30 years. Since 1999, the company has also been the festival’s main sponsor. Since 2002, the Siemens Festival Nights have been held on Kapitelplatz square during the Salzburg Festival. Since its beginning, this open-air event has provided more than one million visitors with the opportunity to experience previous and current festival productions on an LED screen free of charge. In addition, some of the Salzburg Festival’s venues are equipped with Siemens technology from the areas of building automation, security and acoustics.
