Projects

A central focus of the AI Innovation Center is direct cooperation with industrial companies: Feasibility studies (Quick Checks) and projects to develop initial prototypes (Exploring Projects) of AI applications. In addition, consortium projects and innovation networks are aimed at cross-company exchange.

MRK application for equipping machines

As part of the Quick Check, a concept for equipping machines for punching screw heads has been developed as a collaborative application. The application is designed as a mobile robot platform and by means of a bin-picking solution.
