They are about the size of a shoebox, high-tech, and soon tens of thousands of them will be orbiting the earth – so called nano-satellites. They can, for example, take high-resolution photos of our planet, or reinforce telecommunications networks. However, these actions take energy and this resource is scarce in…
Whether in fitness, medicine or in the entertainment industry, IT devices worn on the body, such as smart watches, are becoming increasingly popular. Such wearables benefit from the input device fitting as naturally as possible to the body – for example as electro-sensitive fabrics, so-called e-textiles. Computer scientists at Saarland…
How can I get a drone to perform little tricks? Is it difficult to program a robot? And how does a machine actually learn? Children and young people can deal with questions like these in the Computer Science lab for schoolchildren. At present, the lab mainly offers online services aimed…
Across Europe, leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have joined forces in the Ellis network. They have two goals: To establish top international research on these topics in Europe and to strengthen Europe economically in this field. This is to create a counterweight to…
People adapt their language to their conversation partners, for example by using technical terms. Computers, on the other hand, still find it difficult to react individually to different users. Vera Demberg wants to change that. The professor at the Department of Computer Science and Computational Linguistics at Saarland University is…
