With the robotic dog “Spot,” our 3D scanner can accurately measure large machines—such as aircraft turbines—and create 3D images without constant human assistance. Come meet “Spot” at our institute during the Long Night of Science and discover the world of 3D imaging.
Also: A state-of-the-art camera system developed by Fraunhofer IOF will help prevent serious accidents in the future. It is designed to capture safety-relevant information inside the vehicle. But Fraunhofer researchers are also shedding light on the area around the vehicle. Tiny projectors project information onto the road, and headlights consisting of thousands of tiny microlenses ensure that the road is perfectly illuminated at night. Another exhibit demonstrates how high-speed 3D sensors can be used in crash tests to gather important information about a vehicle’s behavior during an accident.
