    Autonomous Systems on a Leash

    A precisely defined operating environment is not only important for autonomous driving. The Operational Design Domain (ODD) also ensures safety for many other highly automated systems in rail transport, logistics and mobile robotics.

    How secure are quantum machine learning systems?

    Machine learning models are exposed to malicious external attacks that drastically falsify results and assessments - to the harm of people in safety-critical situations. Defense strategies already exist. But what happens when quantum computing comes into play? Together with partners, Fraunhofer IKS has taken a close look at the first approaches to averting danger.

    Interview with Edith Holland
    “Safety is a key aspect for public acceptance of automated driving”

    For Safetronic 2025, we were able to gain two new members of the program committee. One of them is Edith Holland, Chief Engineer Functional Safety at the vehicle engineering, test and development consultancy HORIBA MIRA. She spoke to Safe Intelligence online magazine about her motivation and the importance of safety for road vehicles now and in future.

    MBO-KISS: The future of control applications in industry

    Can AI revolutionize production control? This is the question the research project MBO-KISS (Methods for Evaluating and Optimizing AI-generated Control Applications Based on the Physical Simulation of Machines and Their Desired Behavior) aims to address. The project has started at the beginning of the year, with a total duration of three years. The goal is to investigate the possible usage of Large Language Models (LLMs) for generating and securely applying control applications in industrial production.

    ISO 9001 certification
    Seal of Approval for Research Quality

    It is now "official": Fraunhofer IKS demonstrably sets the highest standards for the quality of its research work. This is confirmed by the certification according to ISO 9001, which the institute has recently passed successfully.

    Can Generative AI Revolutionize Modern Healthcare?

    Artificial intelligence and LLMs in particular are seen by many as a beacon of hope for the overburdened healthcare system. Above all, AI-based automation could quickly provide relief for knowledge management routine tasks. Until that happens, problems with security and safety must be solved and legal requirements fulfilled. Fraunhofer IKS research is addressing both of these issues.

    DEEP series, part 4
    The process is directed by DEEP

    The previous three parts of our series focused on the technologies “under the hood” of DEEP, the Fraunhofer IKS machine learning toolchain. Now, we take a look at the “big picture” in form of the process steps of the DEEP procedure – how DEEP can be used to get a grip on the problems associated with the use of machine learning (ML) for future flexible quality inspection.
