Our research project, "BioH2Log" focuses on the sustainable supply of green hydrogen for the payload/public transport sector. Biogas plants with plant-based raw materials are established building blocks in Germany and Europe. Their decentralized location is advantageous for the supply of regional… [read more]

Our student Philipp Baumgartner recently finished his master’s thesis on "Adaptation of the Work Density Method to special foundation engineering" during an exchange semester at the University of California, Berkeley. Philipp wrote his master's thesis in California as part of a collaboration with… [read more]

The DFG Transregio Collaborative Research Centre (DFG-SFB TRR 277) is investigating additive manufacturing in construction on a large scale. Leveraging resource-efficiency, automated processes and thus the future of construction. With additive manufacturing it is possible to apply material exactly… [read more]

In our latest research project, "AutoDis," we are investigating the potential for automation in dismantling processes, especially in the component-by-component reprocessing of smart meters. The aim is to develop a lean, energy-efficient, and automated disassembly line for returned products in order… [read more]

In our latest research project, "Osaga," we are developing a system that recognizes load characteristics on forklifts. The goal is to increase safety and efficiency in the transportation of goods. Existing technologies require manual and inefficient steps to determine the type, weight and volume of… [read more]

The standardized interface VDA 5050 enables communication between different mobile robots and a central fleet management software, such as that of the cloud platform AnyFleet. However, the integration of VDA-5050-compliant communication into existing system architectures is very complex. Together… [read more]

Can we outsource the intelligence of autonomous mobile robots into a cloud? We answered this question in the now successfully completed Robot-in-the-Cloud research project. The use of AI enables mobile robots to be more and more autonomous. At the same time, this requires significant on-board… [read more]

Research institutions and companies from various industrial sectors are developing new approaches to using sustainable materials. The core of the consortium project "Future Sustainable Car Materials" (FSCM) is to develop innovative process routes and material concepts across large parts of the value… [read more]
