Research Institution

For our research we use modern technology for real flight, simulation and information processing.

UAVs & Plattforms

We rely on the use of modern UAVs to evaluate our methods and algorithms.
The RB5 5G Modal AI drone is powerful and versatile. It can carry up to 1kg, flies for over 20 minutes. Equipped with six cameras for high-resolution image capture and tracking, it features advanced processing and sensor technology.

The drone offers numerous connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and 5G. It supports common software platforms and offers the ability to quickly integrate research software.

Cockpit simulators

Virtual cockpit simulation is a key tool in the development of innovative interaction concepts.

In our laboratories, we have the possibility to simulate a wide variety of applications. Our simulators range from desktop environments to an A320 simulator with a dome vision system.

Hardware-in-the-Loop at TTZ

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is an advanced technique for simulating UAV flight characteristics, sensor modelling and actuator modelling that interacts with the UAV autopilot hardware in real time.

This method enables comprehensive testing of the reliability of the UAV autopilot hardware and the control loop performance of the entire system. In addition, HIL simulation facilitates the fine-tuning of control parameters to ensure optimal performance and reliability of the UAV system.
