Project overview

OrthoKI is researching an orthotic fitting optimized with AI methods. The sensor-based splint attached to the foot is intended to optimize the therapy of patients with foot dorsiflexion whose ability to walk is limited.

The endowed professorship funded by the project is held by Prof. Dr Gerard Pons-Moll. He conducts research on the development of sustainable and robust intelligent systems that can react adaptively to new situations and continue to learn.

The interaction of small and large particles, which occurs, for example, in the formation of clouds and rain, cannot yet be fully modeled mathematically. The CRISP project aims to make this possible using a new mathematical method.

By linking environmental and urban data with AR technology, findings on climate change in the city are made visible. This makes connections, effects and options for action concrete and easy to understand.

Research is being carried out into the potential of the calcifying properties of algae for various industrial applications, for example for the development of multiplying concrete or the development of calcium-containing minerals as alternative coatings for solar cells.

Cyber Valley is Europe's largest AI research consortium. The project aims to promote talented young scientists and the transfer from science to practice through various measures.

At the CZS Center KRAFt, scientists from the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld at Trier University of Applied Sciences, Aalen University of Applied Sciences and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are researching how process chains in additive manufacturing can be designed to conserve resources.

The first transregional centre for quantum photonics at the universities of Jena, Stuttgart and Ulm offers around 50 scientists a cross-disciplinary and cross-location platform for research and exchange.

At the CZS Centre SynGen, experts from the Universities of Heidelberg and Mainz and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology are researching the use of new DNA synthesis and artificial intelligence technologies for revolutionary future applications in biotechnology and medicine.

The endowed professorship develops and applies intelligent methods to increase the resilience of digital systems to cyber attacks. It makes a key contribution to innovation and transferability in the field of cyber resilience - with direct benefits for companies, public institutions and society.
