Power-saving chips for neuromorphic computing

Neuromorphic computing refers to the complex nerve network of the brain. Integrated memory technologies and innovative concepts for analog and digital circuits aim at drastically reducing the energy hunger of the high-performance chips required for this purpose.

Resource-saving production of conducting paths

The LEO project combines competencies such as fine line metallization, reel-to-reel processing and thin-chip integration in foils - and aims for making classic processes in printed circuit board manufacturing more cost-effective as well as environmentally friendly and resource-saving in the long term.

Failsafe electronics for autonomous driving

Researchers at Fraunhofer EMFT, together with several industrial partners, have developed a redundant, generic control unit as part of the AutoKonf project that can perform both steering and braking functions.
