Viele Unternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung, ihre Tätigkeiten mit digitalen Technologien zielgenau zu unterstützen. Geschäftsprozessmodelle spielen hierbei – insbesondere bei der Einführung entsprechender Informationssysteme – eine große Rolle. Gerade kleinere und mittlere Unternehmen tun sich bei der Erfassung und Verbesserung ihrer Prozesse allerdings oftmals schwer. Im Rahmen des Projektes KICoPro soll daher ein Chatbot-basierter Modellierungscopilot entwickelt werden, der die [...]
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) will present how trustworthy AI technologies can drive progress in key areas such as health monitoring and industrial production at the 2024 Digital Summit, to be held in Frankfurt on 21 and 22 October. This year’s summit theme, ‘Germany Digital – Innovative. Sovereign. International’, provides a forum to highlight the potential of AI in the fields of health and industry.
Recent developments in robotics have brought the vision of robots taking over complex tasks as personal assistants and interaction partners for humans within reach. Researchers at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) have taken an important step in this direction as part of the M-Rock project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Using innovative approaches based on hybrid AI methods and human feedback, they have succeeded in significantly increasing the safety and adaptability of robot behavior.
Nach fünf Jahren neigt sich das Projekt Zukunftslabor Agrar (ZLA) dem Ende zu. Forschungseinrichtungen aus Niedersachsen, darunter das DFKI, untersuchten Aspekte der digitalisierten Landwirtschaft der Zukunft. Bei dem Konzept Spot Farming ist ein Feld keine homogene Fläche. Teile werden, zum Erhalt der Umwelt und zur Steigerung des Ertrags, unterschiedlich bepflanzt. Für die Bewirtschaftung sollen neuartige Maschinen wie Roboter zum Einsatz kommen. Im ZLA wurde die Technik näher betrachtet. [...]
Das Saarland hat seine Position als Innovations- und Start-up-Standort in Deutschland weiter gestärkt: The Bridge Incubator GmbH, angesiedelt im Innovation Center der Universität des Saarlandes, wird in Kooperation mit East Side Fab e.V. als neuer „de:hub Artificial Intelligence“ in die renommierte Digital Hub Initiative des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) aufgenommen.
Paul Strohmeier of the Max Planck Institute for Informatics has been bestowed with an ERC Grant to research and develop algorithms to vibrate actuators in such a way that they [...]
Artificial intelligence is already making far-reaching decisions today: Algorithms decide on loans, invitations to job interviews or show where a tumour is hiding. The EU has therefore passed the so-called “AI Act”, which defines how AI should be handled. According to this, “high-risk AI systems” should always be supervised by humans. However, it remains unclear exactly what this means. Experts from Saarland, Dresden and Freiburg have now provided a fundamental answer to this question.
Two media informatics students at Saarland University have developed a technically enhanced cuddly toy and a high-tech glove. With their research, Anna Calmbach and Sophie Kunz want to offer seriously ill children the opportunity to be connected with their parents at a distance. The idea came about when they were looking for topics for their Bachelor’s theses. They will present their results at the “Interaction Design and Children” conference at Delft University.
How can virtual reality (VR) be experienced haptically, i.e., through the sense of touch? This is one of the fundamental questions that modern VR research is investigating. Computer scientist André Zenner, who is based in Saarbrücken, Germany, has come a significant step closer to answering this question in his doctoral thesis – by inventing new devices and developing software-based techniques inspired by human perception. He has now been awarded the prestigious “Best Dissertation Award” at the world’s leading VR conference.
At the Saarbrücken Computer Science Research Days, young computer science talents from all over Germany have the opportunity to take a first look at computer science studies and get to the bottom of current research questions together with students and scientists from Saarland University and the computer science institutes located at the site.
Inria and DFKI extend their strategic partnership and add an innovation layer, in which Triathlon, DFKI, and Inria agree on cooperation in the field of startup development. Paris, May 22, 2024 — In a significant step towards intensifying the French-German technology partnership, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the leading French national institute for research in digital science and technology (Inria) have decided to extend their strategic Partnership for three more years.
During the Open Day on Saturday, 8 June 2024, from 10 am – 4 pm, Saarland University will showcase its range of courses and numerous research topics to the general public. The partners at the Saarland Informatics Campus will also present the wide range of computer science topics in information events. Besides introductory talks on the degree programs, there will be info-booths and participation events from various institutions, such as the Computer Science Student Advisory Service, the student [...]
The Saarland Ministry of Economic Affairs, in cooperation with the Saarland Informatics Campus, has again awarded the Journalism Prize for Informatics. This year for the first time, the German Informatics Society is a partner of the prize. A radio feature from Südwestrundfunk, an online video from the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, an article each from the business magazine “brand eins” and the magazine “MIT Technology Review” as well as a YouTube format on science journalism were honoured.
Computer science students at Saarland University are very satisfied – this is the result of the newly published 2024 ranking by the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE). In key categories such as the general study situation, support at the start of studies and library resources, Saarbrücken computer science is in the top group. In terms of the range of courses on offer, Saarland University’s computer science department even took second place among state universities in Germany.
