Abstract: A control system for a warehouse includes a controller for communicating commands for execution by item carrying vehicles, robotic pickers, and human workers. A warehouse simulation performs simulated runs of order picking and replenishment activities. The simulated results and experience data are recorded and stored in storage. The stored data includes operational data including live results and experience data that was recorded while the workers were performing according to the executable commands from the controller. A training module receives the simulation results, the simulated experience data, and the recorded operational data from the storage. The training module trains an algorithm using the simulated data and the operational data. The training module generates an updated algorithm for the controller. Using the updated algorithm, the controller communicates executable commands to the workers.

Abstract: A method for the automatic production of a digital twin of at least one section of a building interior using at least one robot which is located in the interior of the building, includes the at least one robot having at least one sensor for the capture of a robot environment in the building interior. In the robot environment, there is at least one object that is classified in at least one object type from a number of predetermined object types. The method has the following features: capture of the robot environment by the at least one sensor of the robot to obtain captured environment data; and association of at least one object type with the object in the robot environment by means of a neural network on the basis of the environment data. The neural network is configured to recognize object types, and is executed by a processor.

Abstract: A method for the production of an environment map (5) for a mobile logistics robot includes sensing an environment by use of a sensor system (2). The sensor data is evaluated in a processor unit (3), and a virtual grid of the environment is produced using cells. The cells in which objects (1) are detected are labeled as occupied cells and the cells in which no objects (1) are detected are labeled as free cells, as a result of which a representation of the environment is generated. The objects (1) that occupy the cells are identified in the processor unit (3). The mobile logistics robot carries out the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a structural component, to a system and to a method for monitoring the integrity of a structure or a structural component. The structural component according to the invention has at least one elongated air duct which can be connected to a vacuum source and to a device for detecting the volumetric flow of air and/or the air pressure in the air duct, wherein, when the structure is intact in the region of the air duct, the air pressure in the air duct essentially corresponds to the air pressure of the vacuum source and there is essentially no volumetric flow of air through the air duct but, when a structural defect occurs in the region of the air duct, air from the region surrounding the structure or structural component enters the air duct and increases the air pressure and volumetric flow of air in the air duct in an identifiable manner.

Abstract: A movable storage compartment for a passenger cabin comprises a housing and fixing structures on the side walls of the housing, the housing being open on one side and being able to be moved back and forth between an open and a closed position, that is to say being able to be opened and closed. The fixing structures are formed in such a way that during a movement from the open position to the closed position the housing can be moved first predominantly rotationally and then predominantly translationally upwards.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle window consisting of a transparent composite material, wherein the composite material comprises fibers and a matrix material such that the vehicle window is capable of withstanding structural loads occurring in the window region and can substantially provide the window function even in spite of damage to the vehicle window (damage-tolerant), the fibers and the matrix material being transparent and substantially having the same refractive index. The invention proposes vehicle windows which are damage-tolerant, load bearing, cost-saving, easy to handle and require less installation space than conventional vehicle windows.

Abstract: A connector element for connecting two component parts which can be for example a fuselage skin which is connected to a ring frame segment. Alternatively the connector element can also serve as a frame coupling for connecting two ring frame segments. The component parts can be formed with the same materials or with different materials. According to the disclosed embodiments the connector element in the ideal case completely compensates a temperature-conditioned change in length of at least one of the component parts by varying a connector element length of the connector elements. Thus two component parts can be connected together with different materials such as for example a fuselage skin 6 of an aluminium alloy to a ring frame segment which is formed by carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin. The different coefficients of thermal expansion in this design lead to different changes in length of the component parts which are compensated by a corresponding variation in the length of the connector element.
