Removing litter from oceans and seas is a costly and time-consuming process. As part of a European cooperative project, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is developing a robotic system that uses machine learning methods to locate and collect waste under water.

/2021 A new camera system has gone into test operation at the University of Würzburg. It is designed to detect unidentified aerial phenomena using artificial intelligence methods. Time and again, people see strange luminous phenomena or other phenomena in the sky that they cannot explain. "Most of these observations concern known phenomena or objects such as birds, aircraft, satellites or clouds.

Technical University of Munich's AI-controlled race car makes fastest time in Indianapolis The Indy Autonomous Challenge was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday - a race completely without drivers.

09/24/2021 Lasers are ubiquitous. Scientists from Würzburg have now developed the virtual-reality laser laboratory "femtoPro", which simulates optical setups in real time and enables eye-safe training in the handling of short-pulse lasers.

With a loud hum, the drone takes off from the ground. It is transporting a package to the city center.

Self-learning algorithms analyze medical imaging data Imaging techniques enable a detailed look inside an organism.

The High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) will add NVIDIA graphic processing units (GPUs) to its world-class supercomputer, Hawk. The change in architecture from a purely central processing unit (CPU)-based architecture to a hybrid system will enhance HLRS's capacity for deep learning applications and enable new kinds of workflows that combine simulation using high-performance computing and Big Data methods.

Automated and autonomous vehicles are predicted to be the future of transportation, but their core element of artificial intelligence (AI) has previously struggled to master changing traffic situations.
