At THI, guest professor Alessandro Zimmer is strengthening collaborations between Bavaria and Latin America, driving research in AI and mobility engineering across the globe.
How can automated driving in severe weather be made more safe? Doctoral candidate Mohamed Mofeed Chaar is using machine learning to achieve the vision of accident-free road traffic.
In collaboration with business partners, researchers are developing ways to improve mobility in rural regions and expand e-vehicle charging infrastructure.
No other technology has changed our society and working environment as rapidly as Artificial Intelligence. In manufacturing and logistics, in particular, intelligent control and assistance systems can provide key competitive advantages.
- With the help of the new HCTI standard, sensations can be transmitted over the Internet. - The tactile counterpart to JPEG, MP3 and MPEG was developed by a consortium led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM). - HCTI can be used in tele-surgery, tele-driving or in the gaming industry.
Lactec is one of Brazil's leading science and technology centers and has been a long-standing and trusted partner of THI since 2013. Now a ground-breaking cooperation between the two institutions has been formalised to establish a national center of excellence for electric mobility and smart grids in Brazil.
- Prof. Angela Schoellig has proved that large language models can be used safely in robotics. - ChatGPT develops choreographies for up to nine flying robots performing to selected music. - An additional algorithm guarantees that the drones will fly safely.
The batteries of the future must be both powerful and sustainable. A new joint project, coordinated by the University of Würzburg, aims to make sodium-ion batteries ready to fulfill for these requirements. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the project with more than two million euros. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology / Helmholtz Institute Ulm and the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, Würzburg / Fraunhofer R&D Center for Electromobility FZEB are also involved.
The special requirements placed on trucks and agricultural machinery often make it difficult for engineers to bring them into the electric age. At the Agritechnica agricultural machinery fair researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are now showing what a modular development kit for electric tractors can look like. Their platform features modules for various uses and a power bank which can be used as a replacement battery when necessary.
The transfer project "Man in Motion" of the THI and the KU has published the children's book "The Steps of Automated Driving" in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Andreas Riener, research professor at CARISSMA, Franziska Hegner, research assistant at CARISSMA, and the illustrator Helmut "Dino" Breneis.
