With the robot dog "Spot", our 3D scanner can accurately measure large machines, such as aircraft turbines, and create 3D images without the constant help of humans. Get to know "Spot" during the Long Night of Science at our institute and discover the world of 3D images.
Also: A modern camera system from the Fraunhofer IOF will help to prevent serious accidents in the future. It is built in such a way that it can record safety-relevant information in the vehicle interior. But the Fraunhofer researchers are also illuminating the area around the vehicle. Tiny projectors project information onto the road and headlights made up of thousands of tiny microlenses ensure that the road is perfectly illuminated at night. Another exhibit shows how high-speed 3D sensors can be used in crash tests to gather important information about the vehicle's behavior in the event of an accident.
