New Deputy Director of the Institute Dr. Reinhard Stolle
As of June 1, Dr. Reinhard Stolle, Head of Business Unit Mobility, has assumed additional responsibilities as Deputy Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS.
His profile page provides an overview of his previous work and projects at Fraunhofer IKS.
Fraunhofer IKS is getting a new institute building at the Fraunhofer campus in Garching near Munich. The groundbreaking ceremony with Bavaria's Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger in October marked the official start of construction. On our new building page you will find all information about the construction progress in German.
At automatica 2025, Fraunhofer IKS will showcase two solution approaches that enable safe collaboration between humans and machines: Flexible Quality Inspection and Dependable Person Detection. Visit Fraunhofer IKS at Booth 228 in Hall A5.
The training offered by Fraunhofer IKS on the EU AI Act and high-risk AI systems will give you an overview of the EU's AI regulation and its implications. Find out more about the compliance approach for artificial intelligence and the verification methodology. Register now.
Can Generative AI Revolutionize Modern Healthcare?
Artificial intelligence and LLMs in particular are seen by many as a beacon of hope for the overburdened healthcare system. Above all, AI-based automation could quickly provide relief for knowledge management routine tasks. Until that happens, problems with security and safety must be solved and legal requirements fulfilled. Fraunhofer IKS research is addressing both of these issues.
The previous three parts of our series focused on the technologies “under the hood” of DEEP, the Fraunhofer IKS machine learning toolchain. Now, we take a look at the “big picture” in form of the process steps of the DEEP procedure – how DEEP can be used to get a grip on the problems associated with the use of machine learning (ML) for future flexible quality inspection.
Almost a quarter of a century! To be more precise, Safetronic, the international conference on holistic safety for road vehicles, has been around for 24 years. A lot has happened during this time - and it should stay that way.
"The interaction between research and industry inspires me"
Dr. Katie Fitch has been head of the department Trustworthy Digital Health at Fraunhofer IKS since November 2024. Katie's enthusiasm for mathematics led her to the engineering section early on. Then she discovered medical AI research for herself.
The ability of a production system to adapt independently to new circumstances promises efficiency gains and thus cost advantages. This also applies to late change orders in the production process - a case for the new tool set from Fraunhofer IKS for flexible and resilient production.
DEEP is a machine learning toolchain by Fraunhofer IKS for the reliable AI-assisted automation of quality inspection systems. For this purpose, DEEP automates various specific Fraunhofer IKS technologies. This part of the series of blog posts focuses on the specific technological contents of modular concept learning.
Reinforcement Learning Shift Planning Agent Set to Transform Hospital Staffing
In a joint project, Fraunhofer IKS and ATOSS Software have developed an AI-controlled shift planning agent that automates staff scheduling while demonstrating remarkable scalability.
