The COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health emergency. Societies around the world have a shared responsibility to take on this challenge, and science can make a major contribution. Researchers in the Cyber Valley ecosystem want to be part of the solution and are involved in several COVID-19 research projects. With technology transfer between basic research and application, innovations in AI and robotics can address the pandemic.
IAV Develops Intelligent Early Detection System for Corona
cyvy 30 June 2020 Press Release Berlin
IAV, the engineering specialist from Berlin and Cyber Valley partner, has developed a concept that derives information about the spread of Covid-19 from the intelligent evaluation of publicly available data and results from the analysis of wastewater samples taken from the sewerage network. It is thus possible to pinpoint and detect sources of infection much faster and with greater precision. The next step consists in putting the concept to the test in a pilot project.

Der kybernetische Regelkreis im Kampf gegen COVID-19
cyvy 18 May 2020 News Item Stuttgart
Forscherinnen und Forscher des Instituts für Systemtheorie und Regelungstechnik der Universität Stuttgart entwickeln ein Modell, mit dem sie die COVID-19 Epidemie in Deutschland unter der Anwendung von regelungstechnischen Methoden analysieren und Strategien für die Anordnung von Maßnahmen entwickeln. Die Cyber Valley Doktoranden und Professoren, die sich bisher Algorithmen widmeten, mit denen zum Beispiel autonom fahrende Autos sicher an ihr Ziel kommen, lösen damit das Problem, wie man heute Entscheidungen über Dinge trifft, deren Auswirkungen man nicht kennt und wo die Datenlage sehr ungenau ist. Ziel ist es, eine dynamische Handlungsstrategie zu entwerfen, mit der die Zahl der Infizierten minimiert werden kann, ohne übermäßige soziale und wirtschaftliche Kosten zu verursachen.

Fraunhofer: “Access checker” remotely measures body temperature in addition to heart and breathing rate
cyvy 15 April 2020 Press Release
An innovative measurement method is helping to detect people infected with coronavirus from a safe distance. It detects fever, increased pulse rates and fast breathing without endangering the person conducting the testing. Fraunhofer IPA and Fraunhofer IAO are currently testing the procedure at the Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart.
