Information and communication

The field of information and communication encompasses the entire spectrum of communication –from person-to-person interaction to human-machine interaction and communication within purely technical systems. Establishing and expanding IT security structures requires a holistic view of resources and processes. In addition to system and network security, our research activities center on a wide range of data processing concepts and applications, such as those used in logistics and robotics.

Selected research projects

ARCHIMEDES

Reliable Communication for Intelligent Systems

How can autonomous systems remain connected and reliable when operating in challenging environments where communication can be critical?

As part of the European ARCHIMEDES project, OTH Amberg-Weiden develops reliable and secure communication solutions for unmanned ground and aerial vehicles operating in underground search-and-rescue scenarios. Using a digital twin of a real-world test environment, researchers investigate how system failures can be detected and how system health and communication quality can be continuously assessed – contributing to more dependable autonomous systems for safety-critical applications.
