AMR-Launch
Development of a control framework for the integration and calibration of AMR systems
Duration 01.01.2026 - 31.12.2027, Funded by BMFTR
Show project description Hide project description
The research project “AMR-Launch” is developing an integrated, intuitive, cross-vendor system for commissioning and configuring autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The aim is to make it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises in particular to use AMRs flexibly and to reduce their dependence on specialised personnel or external integrators. The system is based on AR-supported user environments, standardised AMR interfaces and an AMR abstraction layer. Operational staff can configure AMRs directly in the AR environment; automatic calibration synchronises the real environment, AR model and robot map. The approaches are being validated in practical application scenarios.

SharePort
Resilient Smartport: Enhancing Supply Chain Robustness through Dynamic Resource Sharing
Duration 01.01.2026 - 30.06.2027, Funded by BMFTR
Show project description Hide project description
Ports are facing intense competitive pressure and must invest in automation and digitalization. Fluctuating utilization levels lead to resource shortages during peak periods and idle capacities during quieter phases. SharePort aims to increase the resilience of the port system through resource sharing. Port stakeholders can lend out temporarily unused resources at short notice to avoid bottlenecks and optimize capacity utilization. In addition to functional resilience, sharing promotes cooperation between companies, creates new synergies, and thus strengthens the structural and social resilience of the port community. The project will develop a prototypical digital platform for managing sharing transactions, as well as a simulation game for various sharing scenarios.

WTEST
Knowledge-based test management for test cases
Duration 01.11.2025 - 31.10.2027, Funded by BMWE
Show project description Hide project description
The goal of the project is to develop an interoperable and scalable framework for integrating test knowledge into everyday testing activities. This test knowledge will be embedded into the test processes of complex mechatronic systems through a copilot.
The background is that experience and engineering judgment play a crucial role in selecting and implementing test cases. Therefore, the framework will develop innovative, knowledge-based methods to support the creation of test scripts. This will enable OEMs and suppliers to semantically capture test cases and use the information in a task-specific manner.
Task-specific provision of information will be realized through the copilot, which will be integrated into Razorcat’s testing tools. The advantage of the developed copilot is that its suggestions are deterministic, reproducible, and traceable, thereby ensuring compliance with the guidelines for testing safety-critical systems.

Germany has some catching up to do when it comes to continuing education. Recent studies show that only a small proportion of the 25- to 64-year-olds in Germany participate in formal education programmes – significantly less than the EU average. Concepts such as learning-friendly work environments and learning ecosystems offer the potential to overcome this continuing education crisis. However, they must be combined with value creation dynamics, such as technological development and work culture, to ensure optimal skills transfer. Against this backdrop, KLAWEST is looking for research needs for skills development in a business context at manufacturing and logistics companies.
The aim of the preliminary scientific study is to develop four different consistent descriptions of the future in the areas of skills transfer, new approaches to learning support and changing work cultures. The foresight process is based on a tailor-made method. This is based on scenario management, a process for the structured development and interpretation of possible future scenarios, and is carried out by a team of experts. The results of this process are validated and expanded using a Delphi method, a multi-stage sequence of consecutive expert surveys.

WeR3t-Netze
Regional value creation networks for Resilience and Resource conservation

Show project description Hide project description
In the absence of established sustainable business models, the potential of the circular economy often remains untapped. WeR³t-Netze is investigating how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular can create synergies, make optimal use of local resources, and increase their resilience in regional networks with innovative services and business models. The aim is to derive the corresponding research needs from a concrete vision of the future for sustainable value creation in the region through a strategic review. In its sub-project, BIBA is responsible for project management and the organization of the backcasting process and the transfer of results.
