Artificial intelligence

The origins of AI research at FAU can be traced back to the pioneering work of Prof. Heinrich Niemann in 1975 in the fields of pattern recognition and machine learning. Since then, it has been continuously developed and now encompasses a very wide spectrum of areas. Special attention is given to AI and teaching.

Identifying acute stress based on posture
Does stress in social situations cause a particular posture? Do I move in a different way when I feel under pressure or fear a potential conflict? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have been investigating these questions in their research. Using the results of their research, they were able to train machine learning models to distinguish […]

How brain research is helping artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI), especially the training of AI systems such as ChatGPT, consumes enormous amounts of energy. If AI could work more like human brains, it would be much more efficient. Dr. Achim Schilling and Dr. Patrick Krauss from the Neuroscience Laboratory of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, together […]

Assistance from AI in finding the cause of illnesses
Headaches, high blood pressure or digestive problems can be signs of many different medical conditions. Often, treatment focuses on the affected organs or organ systems and is aimed at alleviating symptoms. This is something experts at FAU, including computer scientist Prof. Dr. David B. Blumenthal, are hoping to change. Modern medical research is unlocking an […]

AI supports rehabilitation after spinal cord injury
An intelligent suit is hoped to significantly improve rehabilitation after a serious spinal cord injury. The AI-supported solution will be developed over the next three years by researchers from FAU working in collaboration with Heidelberg University and Heidelberg University Hospital. It combines electrical simulation of muscles with support for movement using artificial tendons, and reacts […]An intelligent suit is hoped to significantly improve rehabilitation after a serious spinal cord injury.
