The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) at Ernst Abbe University connects actors from science, business and society. The aim is to advance artificial intelligence in these areas and, above all, to put it into practice.
The pilot programme is intended to test new concepts for recruiting staff at universities of applied sciences. The special feature: the two Endowed Professors are employed in the company parallel to their university work.
An interdisciplinary team at the University of Tübingen is exploring principles for the safe use of AI systems in healthcare and developing guidelines for their certification.
Among other things, chitin is the main component of the exoskeleton of spiders. Research is being conducted into chitin-based materials that can be chemically modified to make them fireproof, mold-resistant, robust and - unlike synthetic polymers - compostable.
Two different assistance systems are being researched: Avatars and assistance robots. The aim is to enable seniors to communicate with remote relatives in their own homes as if they were there.
The FORUM communication and meeting center serves interdisciplinary exchange. With conference and meeting rooms, it is being built in downtown Jena.
In the OriDarmi project, methods are being developed to study the physiological processes in intestinal wall-like cell assemblies in order to better understand the influence of drugs, food components, microorganisms or disease-causing substances on the intestine.
The Prisma fund will enable Prof. Dr. Tobias Hauser, Professor of Computational Psychiatry in Tübingen, to set up a new German-language platform to provide information on the causes of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
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.
