CENTER FOR VISION, AUTOMATION & CONTROL The Center for Vision, Automation & Control focuses on the digitisation and automation of production processes and the development of assistance systems and autonomous machines. Research is being conducted into ultra-fast sensors, flexible robots and camera systems that can be used for autonomous vehicles to orientate themselves.
Starting with a comprehensive system analysis and a domain-specific understanding of the system, we develop solutions from the individual component – e.g. specific camera configurations for quality inspection – through to complex complete systems such as an autonomous work machine or the optimized control of a complex production process.
High-Performance Vision Systems – testing, detection, measurement Numerous tasks from industry, often coupled with high process speed and the demand for a continuous online recording of production, call for new ideas and approaches in the area of sensor technology. The focus of research is on the deployment and further development of ultra-fast camera and lighting technologies, on scalable em-
