#BEV #Economy #SkilledWorkers 29.04.2024Press release VDE study: Electromobility is a test for Germany as an automotive location The VDE has examined how well the German automotive industry is prepared for the transition to electromobility. A shortage of skilled workers and small leaps in productivity are the biggest problems, and the mass market will be hit the hardest – if things continue like this, low-cost electric cars will come mainly from China by 2035. The industry is calling for predictable framework conditions.

Andreas Wiedholz and Franziska Herrmann were one of the Hackcoaches of last year’s #SICKSolutionHackathon. They work for XITASO, a software service provider for high-end solutions in mechanical and plant engineering. What did they experience at the last years Hackathon? “We’re more likely to be run over by a human than a robot ...” Preferably not at all, of course, but thanks to our work as coaches and the use case "Safe Detection of Humans", we’re confident that we won't be run over by an automated vehicle in the future. 💡 That’s why our use case was tagged with the challenge #makeitsafe. The aim was to conserve and protect resources. Including people. We specifically addressed the detection of humans by sensors - this is important because robot-human collaboration will continue to deepen. 🤜 🤛 Machines must learn to perceive their environment in all directions and also to find their way around new environments immediately. To do this, all sensors must work together. And that was one of the main tasks of the challenge: to calibrate sensors so that the information can fuse. It was fun to see how the participants taught the machines to "see". 👀 So let's see what's in store for them this year! Who would you trust more for human detection? Man or machine? Write it in the comments! 👇 #SICKSensorIntelligence #deeplearning #AGV #sensors #humanmachineinteraction

Dear battery community, In already turbulent times, we are facing global competition – especially with regard to battery technologies that enable us to achieve climate-friendly mobility and more. Shifting down a gear now would be a huge mistake that would set us back a long way in comparison with international research and development! Now is the time for our politicians to expand funding for battery research instead of restricting it. Does that mean money? Yes, of course. But being left behind would cause skills shortage, dependencies, and costs that will grow completely out of proportion. That’s why I call on the German government to change its course and invest more in our domestic battery research! Michael Krausa (Kompetenznetzwerk Lithium-Ionen-Batterien e. V.
