In more than 50 years, our research has actively contributed to the enormous progress in efficient, dependable and safe computers and network systems. Computer and network engineering is at the research-intensive core of future intelligent autonomous systems. As our main application domains, we address complex embedded and cyber-physical space and automotive systems. We combine sophisticated theory with computer and network architecture and design all the way to practical hardware-software designs.

Last weekend, the institute opened its doors as part of CampusXperience and offered visitors an exciting insight into current projects in autonomous assistance robotics. The focus was on a live demonstration of the “Robotdog”, which is designed to guide visually impaired and blind people safely through their everyday lives. The team also presented collaborative systems in the field of computer technology, such as autonomous detection and mapping in flooded areas using drones or the creation of real-time maps for a trustworthy environmental model. Whether robot dog or drone, CampusXperience makes it clear how autonomous systems can be used in the future to support people in their everyday lives.
