Universal Robots ROS Driver
The FZI develops ROS driver for Universal Robots
Research focus
Applied Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a key technology enables and enhances many research projects at the FZI – especially in the application fields of Mobility, Transportation and Logistics, but also in Production, Supply and Disposal, as well as Healthcare.
AI plays a strong role in the FZI’s research on human-robot collaboration, functional safety – especially for robotics and mobility – or sensor and image processing solutions across all subjects.
A particular concern of the FZI is to evaluate the latest AI methods and procedures from research, adapting and transferring them into practical applications at partner companies.
The FZI is particularly adept in the area of Applied Artificial Intelligence concerning criteria of transparency, coherence, and security.

Transfer
Digital Hub Karlsruhe, AI Regio, FZI AI Day
The Digital Hub Karlsruhe Applied Artificial Intelligence is a vital transfer instrument for applied AI. It provides insights into applied Artificial Intelligence through a virtual showroom with demonstrators and the “AI Showroom Insight” virtual guided tour.
On a European level, the radiance of the Digital Hubs is strengthened by the EU “AI Regio” project, in which the FZI is also involved.
AI Regio supports the AI-focused Digital Innovation Hubs on a governmental, technological, and business level.
On a regional level, the “FZI AI Day” (FZI Tag der KI) event, a format launched in 2022, will further strengthen the transfer activities: In 2024, the FZI supported the exchange of information with experts, users, and interested parties from business and industry on specific topics related to AI.
In addition, many projects continue to employ and further develop current open-source solutions in the field. The FZI’s diverse activities around the free Robot Operating System, or ROS for short, are particularly worthy of mention here. Highlight projects
