Project overview

At the IQST, physicists, engineers, life scientists, mathematicians and experts from other disciplines work together to use the laws of quantum mechanics for innovative biomedical applications.

The Prisma fund enables Prof. Dr. Fellenz and Prof. Dr. Jirasek, both junior professors at RPTU Kaiserslautern, to carry out preliminary work for a joint project proposal to the DFG.

Can robots learn through observation? This is the question an interdisciplinary project team at the University of Freiburg is asking itself and researching new training methods for AI-based robots.

The Robotics Hub promotes education and training as well as "knowledge and technology transfer" in the field of robotics in the Upper Rhine region. This is to enable cross-border cooperation between research and industry.

Prof. Dr Alexander Breuer was appointed as Endowed Professor for Scalable Data and Computationally Intensive Analyses at the University of Jena starting winter semester 2020.

Explainable AI methods are used to develop two complementary tools for the steel industry: MicroGrapher analyses the microstructure of existing steel. SteelDesigner calculates the composition of steel alloys before production.

Prof. Dr. Christian Schorr, Professor of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences, combines the complementary advantages of both methods with the synthesis of classical statistical models and AI-based models.

The project investigates the mobility of AI specialists in Germany and Europe. Causes are being investigated and fields of action identified. This will lead to the development of effective measures to promote the German and European AI ecosystem.

How decentralised should data be stored to protect privacy, and how does that affect energy consumption? Conflicts of goals of this kind are analysed in a research centre for machine learning.

In the "Transfer and Competence Centre Industrial AI", potentials and possibilities of the use of AI in production processes of medium-sized companies are researched on the basis of industrial applications.
