Artificial intelligence at DLR – selected fields of application
Earth observation
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) acquires precise geoinformation. We use AI methods to improve our knowledge of the Earth system and research global change.
Safety critical systems
Artificial intelligence (AI) must be secure against attack and misuse. DLR is building on its extensive experience at the interface of security research and digitalisation. This enables us to develop secure and accountable systems based on AI.
Automated and networked driving
DLR’s AI technologies are important for the further development of automated and networked driving.
Personal assistants and expert systems
DLR's intelligent assistants and expert systems assist people in their work and during daily life.
Robotics
DLR is a world leader in the development of humanoid robots. With AI, we are opening up new ways to train robotic systems to make use of their own capabilities.
Production
Industry 4.0 is safer, more efficient and more sustainable. DLR is developing new AI methods to improve automation and human-machine interaction in production environments.
Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
AI methods for the predictive maintenance of systems and structures are an important field of DLR research. They enable us to identify technical problems even before they occur.
