iTecPro – Research and development of innovative processes and technologies for the production of the futureProblemsThe economy is currently in a field of tension between climate change, progressive digitalisation, demographic change and increasing cost pressure at high-wage locations, not least exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and the coronavirus pandemic. Due to new developments in the areas of digitization and Industry 4.0, changes in the social...
The aim of the Neuroergonomic Digital Factory Saar is the realization of a research and development platform for a human-centered, neuroergonomic human-machine collaboration in highly digitized production. The project uses neuroscience-based approaches and recently developed methods of mobile psychophysiological human monitoring to research workplaces in digitized production or to develop new collaboration systems and strategies.
Immersive Mixed Reality – Multi-ImmerseThematic area Immersive Mixed Reality is about technologies that allow immersion in a virtual environment and interaction with the virtual environment. This is not only about visual immersion, but also about acoustic and haptic immersion.ProjectThe Multi-Immerse project is about human proximity through the multisensory optimization of immersive, virtual...
Biomedicine: Digital OP – Digital ScrubsProjectInterpersonal and multimodal attention assistance system for context-sensitive, neuroergonomic human-machine interaction in networked operating theatresBackgroundNetworked operating theatres using artificial intelligence will be able to provide more and more information in the future. However, in order for surgical teams to be able to use this flood of information profitably, they must always resort to a limited resource, which is their...
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Saarland face numerous economic and social challenges, which can be clearly met by support in the digital transformation. The region's industry focus is on manufacturing and production-related industries, production-related services, the information and communication technology (ICT) industry and the other services sector (engineering offices, health,...
VProSaar Distributed production for the Saarland automotive industry: The ongoing structural change (due to decarbonization, electrification, etc.) in the automotive sector will inevitably lead to the adaptation of existing but also to the development of completely new innovative products and services. In order to maintain competitiveness and consolidate the position of production facilities (in this case mainly SMEs), it is necessary to...
ZTS Project SenRob ProblemThe manufacturing process of ceramic components results in production-related material supernatants as well as defects that have to be removed in the downstream white plastering process. Grinding requires a direct interaction of the tool with the workpiece surface to be machined, so that contact forces and moments are created. When automating such a process with the help of a robot, a compliant behavior of the robot manipulator is necessary. Especially...
H2SkaProMo – Scalable cyber-physical production systems for the assembly of fuel cell stacks In the joint project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWi), 15 partners from industry and research will work together on the production technology for energy technologies of the future. The Saarland University with its Chair of Assembly Systems leads the consortium, while ZeMA is an associated partner.
DECMAS – Dielectric Elastomer Membranes for Cooperative Micro-Actuator/Sensor Concepts The DECMAS project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is part of the DFG Priority Programme SPP 2206 KOMMMA. Novel, miniaturized and cooperative dielectric actuator concepts are being researched. The project is a collaboration of the Chair of Intelligent Material Systems under the direction of Prof. Seelecke from the University of...
H2-DruckSensHydrogen-compatible pressure sensors made of ceramic sensor bodies with highly sensitive sensor layers The project is part of the BMWi programme ‘Innovations for the Energy Transition’ and deals with the development of hydrogen-compatible pressure sensors. With the help of ceramic sensor bodies and highly sensitive stretch-sensitive thin films, pressure sensors are to be developed that are ideally suited for applications with hydrogen, a key element of the energy transition. The project is a...
