Department of Computer Technology: Lab Trip Featuring TU Dortmund University’s Computer technology
Innovation enthusiasts can experience the future of autonomous systems at TU Dortmund University throughout a laboratory tour through the Department of Computer Science. Self-governing vehicles, virtual human beings, and intelligent machines: today’s computer technology is stepping beyond the screen and into the physical world.
The event starts with an introductory lecture by Prof. Mario Botsch on the subject: Realistic Virtual Human Designs: Development, Simulation, and Applications. The lecture shows how realistic virtual human beings can be produced through 3D scanning, how these virtual models can be animated and simulated, and presents fascinating applications from present tasks.
Lamarr Institute: Social Duty, Sustainability and Development in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
How can we use AI in concrete applications to overcome existing difficulties in the Ruhr region? What chances does it use for sustainable development, social justice and development– and where do the dangers lie?
