What research fields is Fraunhofer IML pursuing on artificial intelligence in logistics?
Fraunhofer IML is a leader in research on the optimization and digitalization of logistics and production processes. Artificial intelligence is one of the technologies that can develop the greatest potential here: automating processes, using resources more efficiently and increasing adaptability to market changes. However, the researchers at the institute do not see AI only as a technological support, but as a key technology for the development of new innovative solutions that can be sustainably implemented in the real world.
Technical progress in artificial intelligence is currently developing rapidly. Logistics provides the necessary context for AI research: real-world applications illustrate the economic and social benefits of artificial intelligence. Logistics research drives technological innovation, particularly when it comes to increasing the economy's competitiveness.
The collaboration with the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence – one of five university AI competence centers nationwide that receive long-term funding as part of the German government's AI strategy – gives researchers at Fraunhofer IML the opportunity to help shape the new generation of artificial intelligence at the highest level right from the start. The cutting-edge technological expertise gained from the collaboration with the Lamarr Institute is being put to good use in the institute's research and industry projects.
