Cyber-Physical Systems
This key component of the Internet of Things are primarily developed and realized as silicon-based microsystems with sensors, actuators, energy supply as well as RFID-functionality for specific tasks in the field of civil engineering, lightweight construction, automotive industries and polymer processing. The research work addresses fundamental questions within the collaborative research center SFB/TR 39 “PT-PIESA”, but is as well represented in collaborations with industry partners.
