DFKI.AI DAY 2023

With live system demonstrations, numerous exhibitions and a one-day programme of events, RICAIP partner DFKI presents the current state of research and the potential use of AI technologies in production, administration, agriculture, medicine, education and environmental and climate protection.

In the live system demonstrations, our scientists show application scenarios of human-robot collaboration in industrial production, customisable safety concepts for manufacturing companies and robots with tactile sensor technology. The exhibits demonstrate, among other things, industry-independent intelligent knowledge services and AI assistance in company processes, aspects of automated driving and the use of augmented reality in company training.

A live link to the Maritime Exploration Hall at DFKI in Bremen offers an insight into the test basin for underwater robotics, where autonomous maritime systems are tested under realistic conditions.

In the field of intelligent healthcare systems, AI makes it possible to predict the condition of intensive care patients. Artificial intelligence as an integral part of environmental technologies makes it possible to visualise and measure plastic pollution in rivers and on coasts. The aim of the CERTAIN initiative is to promote certified, trustworthy artificial intelligence with functional guarantees.
