More safety and better user experience with AI

Under the technical coordination of Fraunhofer IOSB, twelve research and industry partners developed AI applications for automated driving in KARLI. The focus was on the design of AI-controlled interaction between vehicle and user - for example, to combat motion sickness and help drivers behave according to the level of automation. The project concluded with KARLI presenting its results.

Digital twins: FA³ST Registry v1.0 released

Free, open-source software for digital twins based on the Industrie 4.0 Asset Administration Shell specification: This is what the Fraunhofer Advanced Asset Shell Administration Tools, FA³ST for short, offer. In addition to the FA³ST Service, the FA³ST Registry is now available in the first stable version. This means that even complex use cases, such as for the circular economy, can be realized.

IOSB drives topic of large-scale robotics

Within in newly launched Robotics Institute Germany (RIG), Fraunhofer IOSB will establish the field of AI-based large-scale robotics. This includes autonomous construction machines, agricultural robots and other heavy-duty machines that perform complex tasks independently. Similar issues have so far been researched in the ROBDEKON competence center in particular, and results were presented in Berlin.

Data spaces and
digital twins

Industrie 4.0 is an export hit, but digitalization lags in Germany. We are convinced that by sharing data within value-creation networks, customer-related added value and scalable solutions can be created. Data spaces and standards-based digital twins provide a suitable basis for this. Learn more about our projects and solutions in this field in our visIT science journal.
