Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are already being used to inspect structures in deep waters. The systems are still accompanied, launched at sea, and recovered by large supply ships – a risky and at the same time costly undertaking. The goal of …
When NASA's rover “Perseverance” and China's rover “Zhurong” travel across the surface of Mars these days, they take crucial decisions without human assistance. To further improve the autonomous capabilities of future space robots and to advance Euro…
The orbit is getting crowded: Although the space is mostly empty, space debris and asteroids in the Earth’s immediate environment are increasingly becoming a concern for the existing assets both in-orbit and on-ground For this reason, the EU funded …
Ob als Greifhilfe am Pflegebett oder zur Montage von Satelliten im Orbit – intelligente robotische Systeme finden sowohl in der Pflege als auch in der Raumfahrt Anwendung. Welchen Mehrwert diese Technologien bieten und woran aktuell geforscht wird, e…
To survive on the moon, humans need a lot of resources. Transporting them to the earth's satellite by spaceship would be extremely expensive. There is a much cheaper and sustainable solution: special manufacturing plants that can extract and process …
Künstliche Intelligenz und modernste Robotik: Durch diese Kombination erforscht das Robotics Innovation Center des Deutschen Forschungszentrums für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) mobile Systeme für die verschiedensten Einsatzbereiche: Rover zur Erkund…
Water, protection, stable temperatures: When it comes to finding suitable areas for long-term lunar missions, the lava tubes on the moon are of great interest. In order to investigate their potential for future space exploration, teams of robots are …
Wie bringt man einen Roboter zum Laufen? Was lässt ihn die Balance halten? Und wie kann er auch aus großer Entfernung gesteuert werden? Beim Zukunftstag am 22. April 2021 erfahren die Teilnehmenden mit welchen spannenden Fragestellungen sich die Fors…
Whether in murky waters, cramped ship tanks or caves with little light – poor visibility conditions have a huge impact on the environmental perception of autonomous robots. How can they still operate safely and reliably? In the new DeeperSense projec…
How can inaccessible places on the Earth, such as the deep sea, as well as those on other planets be investigated? Extreme goals present extreme challenges for the technology used. These are more serious than just corrosion or resist…
