It is estimated that around 100 billion items of clothing are currently produced worldwide, most of which will end up in recycling processes. Sorting these old textiles by hand requires an enormous amount of human labour. A research team is now developing new technologies that will enable robotic grippers to sort textiles more effectively.
Saturn, with its distinctive ring system, is one of the most impressive planets in our solar system. Roland Brockers will take the audience attending his public lecture on Thursday, 5 June (5 p.m., Lecture Hall 1, University of Klagenfurt) on an exciting journey to the ringed planet with the largest number of known moons in the solar system. Roland Brockers is Professor of Modular Robotic Systems in the Control of Networked Systems group and a researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology in California. This public lecture continues his series of Space Exploration Lectures delivered during his teaching visit to Klagenfurt.
Traditionally, wind turbines have to be shut down before they can be inspected for damage. This means that these wind turbines do not generate energy during the shutdown period. Furthermore, inspection costs for wind turbines tend to be high. The DORBINE project, funded by the FFG, involves a research team from the University of Klagenfurt working with industrial partner AIR6 SYSTEMS to develop a new technology that uses artificial intelligence to control swarms of drones that inspect wind turbines while they are in operation.
The quality of batteries affects many aspects of our daily lives: Will we arrive at our holiday destination in our electric car? Can we be reached on our smartphones? Does the hearing aid still have plenty of power late at night? Mohamed El Bahnasawi is working on making batteries smarter and more efficient as part of the EU Horizon Europe project ‘Battery Cell Assembly Twin (BatCAT)’. The aim is to use artificial intelligence to learn more about the processes in the batteries in order to be able to use them more efficiently in the future.
