KoSiNuS

Reliable perception is crucial for highly automated or autonomous systems such as agricultural robots.

Together, Hydrive Engineering GmbH, SIListra Systems, Grünspecht Vision Labs GmbH, FusionSystems GmbH, and Fraunhofer IVI will develop key components for perception systems in autonomous machines such as agricultural robots, but also for other applications in industrial automation.

KoSiNuS: Development of central components and safety architectures for use in autonomous mobile machines and systems

SafeFloat

The fields of robotics and sensor evaluation in the area of object recognition require increasingly complex safety systems. In order to master this complexity, the developers of such complex systems want to rely on floating point arithmetic. However, floating-point arithmetic for coded processing has so far only been applicable via “workarounds” such as fixed-point arithmetic or software emulation. In the “SafeFloat” research project, coded processing is to be extended to support floating point numbers. The R&D project is being carried out in cooperation between SIListra Systems and the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart.
