Internet of Things meets automated driving

April 30, 2020
How can automated driving be advanced through the Internet of Things? Together with more than 40 European partners from research and industry, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has successfully brought these two future technologies together in the EU project 'AUTOPILOT'.
DLR technologies for humanitarian aid

April 14, 2020
Technologies developed for spaceflight must function under extreme conditions. Not only do systems and equipment need to be robust, safe, compact, lightweight and easy to use, but they must also function reliably and sometimes autonomously.
Digitalisation in agriculture – field testing DLR technologies

March 30, 2020
Remote sensing data can be useful in agriculture for increasing productivity while protecting the environment and biodiversity.
Detecting supercooled water droplets under icing conditions

March 19, 2020
Icing on aircraft in flight is not related to the time of year, but rather the weather conditions. As part of the EU project SENS4ICE, DLR is working with 18 international partners to conduct research into icing and its impact on flight characteristics.
