This brochure presents the current funding projects in the development of digital technologies in international cooperation.
ARIBIC 
Cooperation with Canada (GER-CAN): Artificial Intelligence based Indoor Carthography. The German-Canadian ARIBIC consortium aims to develop AI-based algorithms that enrich the 3D geometric map with additional semantic information. The goal is to develop an AI-based open platform solution for the localization of autonomous transport vehicles in warehouse applications. In addition, typical fleet and warehouse management… Read more »
CARNIVAL 
Cooperation “ICT of the Future” with Austria (GER-AUT): Consistent Aerial Radar-based Navigation In Visibility challenged Areas and Landscapes The project aims to further develop autonomous mobile systems by investigating and developing the next generation of on-board localization technology using radar inertial odometry. The results of the project can be used to overcome the most pressing… Read more »
FLAIROP 
Cooperation with Canada (GER-CAN): German-Canadian partnership for testing distributed AI technologies in industrial applications using gripper robots as an example. The FLAIROP (Federated Learning for Robot Picking) research project is developing a distributed learning approach for pick-and-place robots for the first time, to robustly recognize and grasp known and unknown objects. The goal is to… Read more »
ShiQ 
Shuttle im Quartier (mit altersgerechten Assistenzdienstleistungen) Für ländliche Gebiete und die letzte Meile, wo kein ÖPNV mehr fährt, ein dienstleistungsorientiertes Mobilitätsangebot mit einem elektrischen On-Demand-Shuttlebus zu etablieren, ist das Ziel des Projektes SHIQ. Es will die Wohnqualität auf dem Land erhöhen und adressiert in erster Linie ältere Menschen. Im Rahmen der Assistenz des Shuttles ist… Read more »
Knowledge4Retail 
Supporting Commerce with Digital Twins With its platform, Knowledge4Retail (K4R) advances the development and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and the deployment of service robots in the retail sector. Semantic digital twins (semDT) of stores serve as the foundation for all applications. This technology empowers retailers to tailor their inventory even more closely to the… Read more »
International Cooperation Projects 
The BMWK supports bilateral cooperation projects with selected partner countries in the European and international area to a limited extent. On the one hand, this is intended to transfer technological developments to foreign application areas and markets and, on the other, to utilize the specific competencies of research institutions and companies from the respective partner… Read more »
