From Dhaka to Bavaria, Shucheta Shegufta is chasing snow and science. In this interview, she reveals how it is to do her PhD in the research training group FRASCAL, a structured doctoral program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Together with industry, researchers at the Technical University Munich (TUM) are shaping the future of work with the new "KI.FABRIK" (AI.Factory) and the German-French Academy for the Industry of the Future (GFA).
DIT researchers Helena Liebelt and Rui Li are developing computational simulations to provide efficient and safe solutions to real-life problems in areas ranging from rocket science to the spread of viruses using quantum computing.
With more than 330 million cars on European roads, millions of tons of end-of-life tires are produced each year. Researchers at FHWS are developing methods of recycling elastomers that could give these tires new life.
At the Competence Center for Lightweight Design (LLK) at Landshut University of Applied Sciences, professors, PhD students, and laboratory staff are researching the future of lightweight design.
- A new software architecture is needed to harness the potential of connected vehicles. - Centralized concept from the CeCaS project is intended for vehicle generations to be produced from 2033 onwards. - This will greatly accelerate development processes and innovations.
How can components be designed for an optimal balance of minimal weight and maximum robustness? This is a challenge faced by many industries, from medical device manufacturing to the automotive and aeronautics sectors. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a reference system that permits direct comparisons and evaluations of many different lightweight construction methods.
Marine litter is a major environmental problem around the world. As part of the EU project SEACLEAR, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now developed an autonomous diving robot that can independently detect and retrieve litter. It uses an AI system to analyze objects with ultrasound and cameras, picks them up and brings them to the surface. The autonomous underwater waste collection system demonstrated its capabilities to the public for the first time in the port of Marseille in southern France.
- In a workshop at the Munich-Ebersberg Construction Guild, apprentices learn how to build a wall with the help of a robot. - “The robot provides precision where humans reach their limits,” says Guild trainer Markus Bruckner. An interactive design configurator knows how much sunshine and shade each area of the wall will get at the intended location.
Munich, Germany – Sixfold increase in productivity, production costs halved, energy consumption and material wastage significantly reduced, component quality improved – the EU-funded research project InShaPe has published impressive numbers. Over the past three years, the consortium has developed a new process optimisation approach that combines AI-based beam shaping with multispectral imaging (MSI) in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) additive manufacturing process.
