The Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing International Conference series has been run in 26 cities in 14 countries in Europe, America, and Asia, addressing both technology and management aspects. The 32nd FAIM International Conference, FAIM2023, is the milestone of 32 years of continuous presence in the international manufacturing scene. It also signifies a landmark in the Conference’s steering, organizational and scientific standards.
FAIM2023 was hosted by Polytechnic Institute of Porto, together with other Universities of the North of Portugal, whose are the main support for research and development of the industry sector mainly located in the North of Portugal.
The theme of FAIM2023 was establishing bridges for more sustainable manufacturing systems.
PeneloPe was featured through different actions during the event:
- PeneloPe won the best extended paper and presentation! The paper from UNIMORE was titled: ‘A method for the assessment and compensation of positioning errors in industrial robots’. Authors (CONGRATULATIONS!) Sergio Ferranini, Pietro Bilancia, Margherita Peruzzini and Marcello Pellicciari.
