Yesterday, Federal Minister Anette Schavan visited the Technische Universität Dresden to announce the new research funding program Zwanzig20. During their visit, Minister Schavan, as well as Minister-President Tillich (Saxony) and Minister-President Haseloff (Saxony-Anhalt) took a look at lastest research results from projects at the TU Dresden, including QualiTune:
To demonstrate the combination of robot software engineering and the aggregation of cloud services into on demonstrator, we created the Mighty Chuck, a new football oracle predicting football matches based on web-services providing statistics on probabilities on the involved teams. We tested the service for tormorrow’s match of Germany vs. Italy:
From April, 10th to April, 11th, the QualiTune group visits the Complang Group at the TU Wien, Austria. Target of the visit is to present current work of both groups and to identify research fields for collaborations in research and robot applications.
From March, 29th to March, 30th 2012 the Silicon Saxony Cluster organizes a Workshop onf Cyber-Physical Systems and Energy-efficient Applications. The QualiTune project will be present with two presentations and one talk at the workshop.
- On Thursday, March, 29th, Prof. Uwe Aßmann will introduce into the workshop with a talk focusing on Life-by-Wire.
- Following, on Thursday, March, 29th, Ronny Kaiser shows how NAO robots can be controlled using Microsoft’s Kinect controller during his talk Gestenbasierte Benutzerschnittstellen für Cyber-physikalische Systeme.
- On Friday, March, 30th, Claas Wilke will talk on energy-efficiency as a challenge for Cyber-Physical Systems during his talk Energie-Tests Cyber-physikalischer Systeme.
