A method for charging or discharging a battery system, wherein the battery system comprises at least two battery cells connected in parallel and/or in series, which can only be charged or discharged together. A voltage is controlled as a control variable by a current or a power as a manipulated variable. The current or the power is specified by taking into account a first state of charge-dependent characteristic curve and a second state of charge-dependent characteristic curve. The first state of charge-dependent characteristic curve and the second state of charge-dependent characteristic curve have opposite gradients, at least in sections. An apparatus for charging or discharging a battery system is also provided.

A system and method for operating a movable component of a vehicle. The system involves a control device that assigns a trajectory to the movable component and determines a control signal for operating the movable component based on the trajectory and a gesture. The assignment and control signal are determined using a tangent of the trajectory and/or an angle formed by the tangent and a reference direction relative to the vehicle. This approach effectively considers the vehicle's approach using straightforward techniques. The disclosure also encompasses a control device, a vehicle incorporating the control device, and a computer program for implementing the method.

The invention relates to a method for feeding workpieces (4) into a production process system by means of a feeding system (1), wherein the workpieces (4) initially lie unordered in a container (5). One of the workpieces (4) and its positional orientation in the container (5) are recognized by means of an orientation recognition sensor system of the feeding system (1). The recognized workpiece (4) is coupled to a handling effector (6) of the first robot (2), moved out of the container (5) and positioned in a orientation-control position. By means of the orientation recognition sensor system, a coupling orientation of the workpiece (4) in relation to the handling effector (6) of the first robot (2) is recognized, whereupon a workpiece orientation action based on the recognized coupling orientation is carried out, which ensures that the workpiece (4) can be deposited at a specified feed point of the production process system and in a specified feed orientation there. Thereafter, the workpiece (4) is placed at the feed point by means of one of the robots (2, 3), as a result of which the workpiece (4) is brought into the specified feed orientation.
