Project course "Data Science and Artificial Intelligence" in the classroom
Finding a free parking space via app - that is the task of the students Maarten Liphardt, Karl Schneidewind and Luis Wengenmair of the twelfth grade (Q2) of the Gymnasium Theodorianum in Paderborn. In the course "Data Science and Artificial Intelligence", they developed their own artificial intelligence (AI) supported web application to predict the occupancy of Paderborn…
In order to develop customised solutions for the digitalisation, automation and optimisation of processes in corporate departments, programming skills and corresponding IT specialists are usually required, but these are not directly available to every company. An alternative is offered by so-called low-code platforms, which allow software applications to be created without advanced programming skills. The consortium of the it's OWL project…

In 1966, the United Nations declared March 21 the "International Day to Overcome Racial Discrimination." Today - 55 years later - stigmatization based on skin colour, origin or gender is still a reality for many affected people. Even artificial intelligence (AI), which is actually considered rational, is not immune to prejudice. This is what scientists at the University of Paderborn have found out. In a video, computer scientist Jun.-Prof. Dr.…

The areas of application for service robots are diverse. There is a wide range of applications, especially in logistics, nursing, healthcare and assembly support. However, insufficient compatibility of components and an unclear market, result in disproportionately high costs for the development of required software and hardware. In the joint project "Service Robotics Network" (SeRoNet), scientists from the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the…
