LIEREx – Language-Image Embeddings for Robotic Exploration

"Robot, bring me a cup!" This seemingly simple instruction often poses significant problems for robots. A robot can use semantic maps to query the positions of objects, but those objects may not even

Luminous – Language Augmentation for Humanverse

LUMINOUS aims at the creation of the next generation of Language Augmented XR systems, where natural language-based communication and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM) enable adaptation to indiv

FAIRe_RIC – Frugal Artificial Intelligence in Resource-limited environments

FAIRe aims to develop resource-limited AI for embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, and edge devices. The development approach should extend comprehensively from the application layer to the physi

TRIPLE-GNC – DFKI subproject: acoustic and visual perception of a miniaturized autonomous underwater vehicle for exploration of subglacial lakes

The aim of the TRIPLE project line is to design and build a system for scientific exploration of subglacial lakes while validating the associated functions in close cooperation with marine and space s

AAPLE – Expanding the Action-Affordance Envelope for Planetary Exploration using Dynamics Legged Robots

Space travel with human astronauts is associated with enormous costs and hazards without offering an immediate return on investment. Thus, the exploration of planets is and will primarily be carried o

MOMENTUM – Robust Learning with Hybrid AI for Trustworthy Interaction of Humans and Machines in Complex Environments

MOMENTUM is a research project dedicated to TRUSTED-AI, which aims to advance the development and application of artificial intelligence by integrating robustness and explainability. The aim of the pr

Adra-e – AI, Data and Robotics ecosystem

Adra-e - Supporting the AI, Data and Robotics Community in the Development of a Sustainable European Ecosystem Adra-e is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) funded by the European Commission under

NoStrandAMust – NoStrandAMust - Bodenkontaktsimulation zur Verbesserung der Lokomotionsperformance mobiler Roboter

NoStrandAMust is a project with the goal of experimentally investigating the ground interaction of different robots and generating models for the interaction using AI methods. These models are to be u

M-RoCK – Human-Machine Interaction Modeling for Continuous Improvement of Robot Behavior

The current developments in digitalization, AI-based data processing, and powerful hardware lay the groundwork for future embodied AI assistants. These intelligent robots must be versatile, adaptive a

MODKOM – Modular components as Building Blocks for application-specific configurable space robots

For service operations on satellites or the exploration of foreign planets, robotic systems will be of particular interest in the future, as they are relatively inexpensive compared to manned space fl
