Projects and products

Our research and development work happens within the framework of projects - these include equally R&D contracts with industrial customers, publicly funded (collaborative) research projects, and pre-competitive research projects funded by Fraunhofer. You can browse through many of these projects below - as well as products, i.e. results of our R&D activities that have reached a high level of technological maturity.

Please note:

  • The most recently updated projects and products are displayed first.
  • You can filter the list by department or business unit assignment as well as by free-text search terms - but for the latter, the spelling must be exact.

    Overview of the components of the MUSAL ecosystem, sample autonomous mobile systems, and generated point cloud data.

    The internally financed MUSAL research project is dedicated to the challenge of conceptualizing and implementing so they can contribute to a holistic description of the existing situation.

    Operating machine learning applications productively requires continuous monitoring, adaptation, and maintenance.

    A project of the same name aims to harness our experience across a whole host of AI application domains to realize MLOps with maximum effectiveness and automate it as far as possible. To that end a software suite was developed that incorporates a wide range of tools for creating machine learning applications and training the ML models.

  • All-Weather Pedestrian Detection Benchmarking

    A systematic, multi-modal benchmark of four ADAS-relevant sensing technologies – RGB camera, long-wave infrared (LWIR/thermal) camera, LiDAR, and imaging radar – for pedestrian detection in rain, fog, and night conditions.

  • Dataspace for Digital Product Passport (DS4DPP)

    The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is coming—and many SMEs are facing major hurdles. Our Fraunhofer teams at IOSB, IIS, and ISST are developing a smart solution to address this: semi-automated DPP creation, secure data room access, and clear added value for companies. This turns the DPP into a real competitive advantage.
