New Sensor Technologies focuses on the research and development of new approaches for intelligent sensor systems that combine - in comparison to conventional solutions - multiple sensor modalities with new technologies to guarantee a higher detection rate and a lower false alarm rate in the detection of safety and security-critical parameters and events.
The resulting systems and their new algorithmic approaches are being tested together with industrial partners for applications in the areas of "critical infrastructure protection", "Industry 4.0", "eHealth" and "Ambient Assisted Living".
