Neuromorphic AI for Energy-Efficient Automated Driving
2025/11/03
Unite! seed-funded project explores next generation of intelligent vehicles
As automated vehicles become more advanced, their energy demands increase rapidly, especially for perception and decision-making. While conventional AI approaches offer high performance, they are often too energy-intensive for scalable and mobile applications in automated vehicles. A promising alternative is neuromorphic computing, which uses brain-inspired techniques like event-based cameras, spiking neural networks, and specialized low-power hardware.

Towards a European Ethohydraulics & Fish Passage Network
2025/10/06
Unite! Seed Fund initiative to advance fish protection and sustainable water systems
European rivers are highly fragmented – by barriers, hydropower, water withdrawals and other alterations to their natural flow. These disruptions pose serious threats to biodiversity and hinder fish migration. In response, a growing European research community on ethohydraulics and fish passage is working to improve ecological connectivity and align water management with sustainability goals.

Freudenberg at Formula Student Germany
The asphalt of the Hockenheimring shimmers in the summer heat. Electric motors hum in the pit lane, the smell of rubber hangs in the air, and teams from all over the world work on their self-built racing cars in the pit lane. 3,100 students from 22 nations, divided into 84 teams, compete against each other in Formula Student Germany (FSG) – a competition in which speed is only one side of the coin. Technical sophistication, clever designs, and economic efficiency are just as important.
