The Embedded Intelligent Systems department researches innovative and application-oriented solutions for medical technology and robotics. The system integration of various hardware components, such as sensors, actuators and communication solutions, as well as the development of software for real-time systems form a basis of our work. Application fields here are mobile technical assistance, where we develop solutions for the guidance and monitoring of manned vehicles, and the area of vehicles, where we carry out research activities for the guidance of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. The existing concepts are used for vehicle guidance as well as for modeling and simulation of vehicles.
