Diese Woche stand der Start-Up BW Summit auf dem Plan. Neben vielen offenen Gesprächen mit der wachsenden Cyber Valley #Community hatte ich die Chance Teil der Jury für den Venture Partnering Award zu sein. Meine Highlights hierzu: ⭐️Top organisiert von NXTGN ⭐️Großzügig finanziert durch L-Bank - Staatsbank für Baden-Württemberg ⭐️Absolut verdiente Gewinner: ➡️Innovationsgrad: Team Assemblio ➡️Wirkungsgrad: Team SensING ➡️Verstetigungsgrad: Team Perspective Care GmbH Die 3 Start-Ups haben wunderbar bewiesen, wie wertschöpfend Kollaboration zwischen Startup und Corporate Partnern ist 🤝 Ein herzliches Dankeschön auch an meine Mitjuroren Benjamin Junghans & Nino Messaoud! #startup #innovation #venturepartnering #venturepartnership #ventureclienting

Three founders, one panel, and a wealth of insights: Here's what we learned about the future of AI in Baden-Württemberg At the discussion on AI innovation in BW, moderated by Cyber Valley's Rebecca C. Reisch, founders 🟣 Elias Schneider, Max-Frederick Gerken, and Martin Phelan shared valuable insights highlighting: ➡️ Strong tech talent pool for AI in the region ➡️ The need for more sales professionals in tech start-ups ➡️ Challenges in visa processes etc. for international talents ➡️ A funding gap between pre-seed and later rounds ➡️ The importance of attracting international tech companies and investors for upscaling ➡️ The demand for experienced accelerators with investment capabilities Despite these challenges, there's a sense of progress in "THE LÄND"! As Dr. Georg Kofler aptly put it in his talk, Baden-Württemberg boasts a thriving start-up scene with good support systems, though scaling remains a hurdle. The Start-up BW Summit was once again a great event, and I'm excited about the follow-ups and the future of AI innovation in our region. #AIInnovation #StartupBW #CyberValley #theLänd

Achim Menges has been appointed Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems! 👏 Alongside his existing duties at the University of Stuttgart, Achim is setting up and leading a new research group on Intelligent Construction and Building Systems at MPI-IS.

Last month's Spinoff Summit gave scientists plenty of inspiration to turn their research into the start-ups of the future! In his keynote, Ingmar Hoerr (CureVac) shared his career path, encouraging scientists to persevere with their innovative ideas, and highlighting the importance of believing in yourself and your research. ⬇️ See the comments to sign up for the next Spinoff Summit organized by First Momentum Ventures, SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen, and Cyber Valley. #Spinoff #TechTransfer #ScientistFounders #SpinoffSummit2024 #Innovation #startup

Congratulations to Flight Robotics and Perception Group and Aamir Ahmad! Their Cyber Valley-funded project "Wildcap" has been awarded another Best Paper award, all within one week! 

Another "Best Paper Award" in the same week!!! Our paper "Airship Formations for Animal Motion Capture and Behaviour Analysis" won the best paper award (for day 2 talks) in the DELTAs conference last week at IIT Bombay, India! Congratulations to Eric Price !! His outstanding presentation made us win this award. Flight Robotics and Perception Group is proud of you. Many thanks to the DELTAs organizers, Prof. Rajkumar Pant, Dr. Manish Tripathi PhD and many others for an excellent conference, providing a unique venue for lighter-than-air scientists, engineers and enthusiasts. Looking forward to the next version of DELTAs What this paper is about? Using UAVs for wildlife observation and motion capture offers many advantages for studying animals in the wild, especially grazing herds in open terrain. The aerial perspective allows observation at a scale and depth that is not possible on the ground, offering new insights into group behavior. However, the very nature of wildlife field-studies puts traditional fixed wing and multi-copter systems to their limits: limited flight time, noise and safety aspects affect their efficacy, where lighter-than-air systems can remain on station for many hours. Nevertheless, airships are challenging from a ground handling perspective as well as from a control point of view, being voluminous and highly affected by wind. In this work, we showcase a system designed to use airship formations to track, follow, and visually record wild horses (Przewalski's horses) from multiple viewing angles. The paper includes the airship design, simulation, control, on board computer vision, autonomous operation and extensive practical aspects of actual field experiments with Przewalski's horses! Thanks University of Stuttgart and Cyber Valley for constant support and funding.
