How can robots act autonomously but safely in space?

Where robots and humans work together, they should not get in each other’s way. That’s why robots have to recognize and adhere to boundaries. And not only on the ground, but also in three-dimensional space: A DFG research project at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences at the Minden campus is developing interactive methods so that everyone can easily delimit a robot’s working area.

Paderborn University Leads EU Research Project on Explainable Artificial Intelligence

AI has become an integral part of our lives. It has given rise to smart assistants that take on tasks that would otherwise take humans a great deal of time and. To do this, smart assistants require vast amounts of data. ‘Knowledge graphs’ are one of the preferred mechanisms for representing data here, because they can be understood by both humans and machines and ensure that information is processed logically.

Understanding Uncertainty

Researchers at Bielefeld University are exploring the benefits of economic uncertainty.  Uncertainty plays a key role in the economy: it gives new or small companies the chance to outsmart their established competitors, and it spurs all companies on to be more innovative. As a result, it drives technological change and the emergence of new markets and industries.

Understanding Artificial Intelligence

Whether it is a digital assistant on a smartphone or tablet, or smart speakers, just what goes on behind the scenes of AI-controlled systems usually remains hidden from their users. The concept of co-construction promises to change this: in the interchange of questions and answers, humans and intelligent systems are meant to arrive at joint explanations for the knowledge contained in these machines. Since 2021, this topic has been a major topic of research at the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre TRR 318 ‘Constructing Explainability’, a joint endeavor of Bielefeld University and Paderborn University.
