Research focus
Applied Artificial Intelligence
We see AI as a key technology: We develop, evaluate, and improve AI methods with the aim of transferring them into tailor-made solutions for applications. Together with our partners from industry, science, and society, we are shaping the future.
With 40 years of experience, the FZI researches and develops practical AI solutions for its clients in a wide range of application areas such as mobility, robotics, energy, healthcare, logistics, and production. We support the development life cycle of embedded AI technologies – from the initial concept phase to testing and validation. Regardless of the industry, the FZI considers not only information technology issues but also safety, ethical, and legal aspects of AI. In AI projects, we always pay particular attention to the criteria of comprehensibility, security, and transparency.
What can we do for you?
AI technologies offer companies new opportunities to optimize and streamline their processes. However, they also present numerous challenges, ranging from identifying suitable use cases and ensuring the availability of relevant datasets to gaining acceptance from customers and employees. The FZI supports companies with a wide range of AI consulting services and provides fundamental AI knowledge through process analysis. AI solutions are identified and evaluated on a customized basis. This is followed by support for practical implementation. In interactive workshops, the FZI also provides managers and employees with practical knowledge and concrete solutions for all aspects of AI use. In this way, the FZI supports start-ups and companies in using, developing, and transferring AI to the public and the economy. As an innovation partner of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the FZI strengthens the bond between academic research and practical application.

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.
