🚐 Das KI-Mobil Austria bringt Zukunftstechnologie in die Betriebe mit dem Ziel, das Verständnis für Künstliche Intelligenz zu stärken und Vorbehalte gegenüber dieser Technologie abzubauen. Hierzu zählen auch die Vermittlung eines Grundverständnisses über die Wirkungsweise und Potenziale von KI in der Produktion sowie der Austausch über Chancen, Anforderungen und Risiken – untereinander aber auch mit Expert_innen. Die Umsetzung des Projekts erfolgt schrittweise, beginnend mit einer sechsmonatigen Pilotphase. In diesem Zeitraum werden sechs bis sieben Unternehmensbesuche pro Monat durchgeführt. Mit einem eigens adaptierten VW ID. Buzz Cargo als mobiles Versuchsstudio sollen Arbeitnehmer_innen in ihrem eigenen Arbeitsumfeld an das Thema Künstliche Intelligenz herangeführt werden. Das Projekt wird gemeinsam von Fraunhofer Austria, der TU Wien, dem Fachverband Metalltechnische Industrie - FMTI und der Produktionsgewerkschaft PRO-GE umgesetzt. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d5uhSgCg 📷 Bild 1: KI Mobil Austria Bus mit Sebastian Schlund, Elisabeth Schludermann, Reinhold Binder und Christian Knill (von links); c_TU Wien/Matthias Heisler #innovation #KI #AI #künstlicheintelligenz #gesellschaft #wirtschaft #zukunft

The European Patent Office’s latest report highlights exciting trends: universities are playing an increasingly important role in the innovation landscape, contributing more than 10% of all European patent applications in 2019. This marks a significant increase over the past two decades, underlining the great potential of academic institutions in advancing technological progress and driving innovation across Europe. Austria stands out among other relatively small countries in terms of academic patents per capita (ranked 6th), and we’re proud to see that Technische Universität Wien leads the way with 665 academic patents, the highest among Austrian universities. 🎥 Missed the event?

Ein wissenschaftliches Großprojekt nimmt ein wichtiges Material unter die Lupe: Bernhard Pichler von der TU Wien konnte mit Kollegen aus Aachen und Brünn einen ERC Synergy Grant einwerben. Gemeinsam wird man nun die Wissenschaft von Beton vorantreiben - von der atomaren Skala bis zur Skala großer Eisenbahnbrücken. https://lnkd.in/dddjcVp3

Bei der Veranstaltung „Blickpunkt Forschung“ präsentieren TU Wien-Forschende gemeinsam mit ihren Projektpartner_innen aus der Wirtschaft anwendungsnahe Forschungsergebnisse. Die Veranstaltung fand am 9.10. statt. Gefeiert wurde auch das 10-jährige Jubliäum. Und das besonders nachhaltig, als "Green Event"! Das diesjährige Thema war hochaktuell, denn es ging um „KI in der Anwendung": Gezeigt wurden Beispiele für die Verbesserung innerbetrieblicher Abläufe, der Produktion, Instandhaltung, Kreislaufwirtschaft und von Recycling. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dmXXD-9z Die Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperation mit der Wirtschaftskammer Wien. 📸 (v.l.n.r.)

Is it possible to build a 3,700 metre long #bridge for rail and cars over a 1,300 metre deep sea, taking into account the vertical and horizontal loads on the structure caused by its own weight, traffic, wind, water currents and ship impact? Challenge accepted! At the Institute of Structural Engineering at Technische Universität Wien, a design for a floating #PontoonBridge featuring a submerged cable net (acting as an artificial seabed) was developed to contirbute to an effective solution. In the new design buoyancy elements and suspension cables of the pontoon bridge are interconnected by supporting components, allowing the immersion depth of the suspension cables to be adjusted in relation to the water surface. The connecting cables between the suspension lines are arranged in a crisscross or lattice pattern to effectively distribute uneven forces, such as gusts of wind or concentrated currents. A key innovation of this concept is the integration of additional pontoons for the main cables of the artificial seabed. This design significantly reduces rope sag, thus simplifying the planning and construction work.

Researchers at Technische Universität Wien have developed a new inclination mechanism for passive arm-exoskeletons, designed to improve comfort and functionality for individuals with neuromuscular diseases. These conditions can severely limit daily activities, impacting independence and quality of life. #Exoskeletons help restore these functions, and this invention ensures users don't feel constrained while wearing them. The new inclination mechanism allows users to move their trunk while seated, with a 20° inclination in forward and sideward directions. It integrates seamlessly with passive upper limb exoskeletons, maintaining shoulder alignment and supporting gravity compensation mechanisms. Cables are safely guided through the mechanism to prevent damage. Advantages ◽ Lightweight and Comfortable: Enhances user experience. ◽ Increased Mobility: Allows trunk movement while seated. ◽ Modular and Safe: Easy to adapt and extend, with secure cable management.
