- Research
IMPT | The Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) is developing plastic-based transformers and inductors for use in electric cars to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project is funded by the European Union.
- Here & now
IPH | LZH | What are the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in production? How can lasers be used to make production processes more sustainable? IPH and LZH will answer these questions at the Hannover Messe from April 22 to 26, 2024.
- Research
IFW | 3-axis simultaneous turning allows the production of complex contours with a single tool. To take full advantage of this, the IFW is developing a simulation-based approach for path planning to improve tool loading and chip breaking.
- Research
IW | In future, production processes will be able to run without the disruptive influence of oxygen. The Institute of Materials Science (IW) is using this to produce efficient new heat sinks with more than a hundred times higher thermal conductivity compared to previous coolers.
- Smart minds
match | Liubov Marchuk from the National Technical University of Ukraine in Kyiv is completing a three-month research stay at the Institute of Assembly Technology (match) to gain insights into the research field of soft robotics.
- Research
ITA | Small cosmic bodies such as comets and asteroids are being researched in the Einstein-Elevator by simulating different gravitational conditions. The joint project is being carried out by scientists from Braunschweig and Hannover.
- Smart minds
ITA | Can rubber be 3D printed? How far away are we from self-printed action figures or bouncy balls? Sebastian Leineweber received the Best Paper Award from the journal RCT at the International Elastomer Conference (IEC) for answering these and other questions.
- Research
IFA | How can intelligent agents be used in production control? What potential does artificial intelligence (AI) offer in the production process? This is what the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) is researching in the Collaborative Research Center “Tailored Forming” (SFB 1153).
- Research
match | Cryopreservation is the storage of biological material at temperatures below -130°C. The Institute of Assembly Technology (match) is developing a parallel robot with solid-state joints that can automatically handle samples at these low temperatures.
