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.

    AktiMeter Industrial is a modular research and demonstration platform developed by Fraunhofer IOSB for the AI-based analysis of manual assembly processes. It identifies activities, assembly steps, and selected errors, and generates structured data for documentation, assistance, process analysis, and ergonomic studies.

  • In-flight wing measurement using monocular photogrammetry

    Geometric data for aerodynamic simulations – using just one camera

    Wings change shape during flight. The Fraunhofer IOSB records this deformation using a monocular photogrammetry method through the cabin window. The resulting 3D models support realistic flow simulations, for example for the development and certification of aerodynamic aircraft modifications.

    HELIKS is developing a mobile, modular test facility for high-energy lasers at Fraunhofer IOSB. More than 90 phase-controllable laser beams are coherently coupled to deliver a total output of over 100 kilowatts. The platform enables experiments on beam propagation, beam shaping, laser effects and safety under conditions that closely resemble real-world scenarios.

  • DRUM – drone-based support for mass events

    Our technologies for authorities and organizations

    The aim of the DRUM project is to create tools that provide support for drone teams and the operational management of BOS in the security monitoring of mass events. The main task is to automate the evaluation of sensor data and to create a means of transmitting and clearly visualizing the results, enabling the incident command team to quickly and easily assess the situation, identify dangerous situations and locate relevant events.

    With CORES, Fraunhofer IOSB is expanding the AktiMeter technology to include AI-based object recognition and cargo risk assessment. The solution identifies unsecured objects inside the vehicle and supports the development of innovative in-cabin monitoring and occupant monitoring features for OEMs and suppliers.
