J. Marius Zöllner is professor at KIT and exec­u­tive director at FZI Research Center for Infor­mation Technology. The research focuses on technologies of applied machine intelligence. Based on fundamental research new systems such as autonomous service robots, autonomous vehicles or assistance systems with cognitive capabilities are to be realized. The use of these so-called technical-cognitive systems takes place primarily in the context of highly automated, efficient and intermodal mobility; connected, automated production and logistics as well as the interactive support of the user in everyday situations.
