The new real-world laboratory at the AI Progress Center in Stuttgart has started. It supports Baden-Württemberg companies in technology development as well as legal and regulatory questions surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics. On May 6, 2026, the AI Progress Center will host an Ope…

It sounds a bit like science fiction: a laboratory that can plan, conduct, and evaluate its experiments largely independently. In which computers and artificial intelligence (AI) control robots work together with state-of-the-art analysis devices. And in which no human has to burn the night hours fe…

The goal of »KIRR Real: Living Laboratory for Legally Compliant AI and Robotics« of the Fraunhofer IPA and ARENA2036 was to support companies in Baden-Württemberg in implementing the EU AI Act as well as the EU Machinery Regulation coming into force in 2027. The results of the collaboration with 15…

The Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy is funding the Schweinfurt Research and Transfer Center KI-noW with an additional nearly five million euros until the end of 2029. With a new focus on AI-supported simulations, the KI-noW continues to support companies…

Life science facilities are some of the toughest challenges in the race to decarbonize – given their high energy consumption. The good news is technology is here to help. Not only for decarbonization, but also for energy security and cost reduction.

In our most recent Siemens Infrastructure Transitio…

Data Language and AI – Messengers of Digitalization

Digital transformation has not only been associated with ChatGPT but also with artificial intelligence. The tasks assigned to it encompass both repetitive and highly complex activities. Generative AI can create texts and images from human inputs, de…

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into sectors such as healthcare, autonomous vehicles and smart cities, traditional computing architectures face significant limitations in processing speed and energy efficiency. The “ViTFOX“ project unites eight partners from Europe an…
