Epilepsense - Angelicka Barbie | Sarah Eckerlein @_sara__he :

Epilepsense: The focus is on coping with everyday life for people with epilepsy.

The product idea aims to detect epileptic seizures early through the use of EEG technology and trigger a warning message via the smartphone.

Epilepsense consists of a head mesh with integrated electrodes measuring different brain waves and a bracelet that monitors vital signs and includes a medication pump. The early warning system enables individuals to prepare for impending seizures, alert bystanders, and ideally prevent the epileptic fit. Epilepsense is not only functional but also comfortable, weather-resistant, and seamlessly integrates into any clothing style.

Ro - Janne Kreimer @jannekreimer :

"I can't do this, I'm afraid." Many of us experience this feeling in various situations. Fear is a natural biological process where adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol are released to protect ourselves. Excessive fears, however, can hinder, restrict mobility, and promote avoidance behavior. Ro is like a hug, an inconspicuous companion on the journey to facing fears. It combines Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) and targeted activation of acupressure points by applying soothing pressure to the body. Ro generates targeted pressure through integrated air cushions, forming a system of organically shaped soft robots. Users can regulate the air pressure themselves according to body posture and needs, inflating and deflating Ro in everyday life. Whether it's fear of flying, exam anxiety, or performance pressure - Ro helps. "I did it."

We are proud and happy to announce the opening of two new research positions within our new project „Autonomous Materials: Interface to a Technical System, Multisensory Interaction and for the Generation of Emotion, Safety and Trust“, to complement the expertise of three disciplines researching und creating dynamic materialities and their multisensory interaction.

We are looking forward to applications for one Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of large-scale FGF 3D printing, to further develop the fused granular fabrication technology (FGF) for the production of smart and textile-based materials, as well as for one Research Associate (m/f/d) in the field of Physical Human-Machine Interaction for orchestrating the material behavior with smart sensing and actuation, and the evaluation of their emotion-related properties via user studies.

About the Project:

The interdisciplinary research project "Autonomous Materials" aims to produce shape-changing, dynamic, and smart materials for intuitive, multisensory interactions, particularly focusing on functional surfaces and textiles within spatial contexts. Central to its objectives is the creation of transformative materials and surfaces serving as haptic interfaces to foster an emotional connection between users and autonomous products or technologies. 

A pivotal element of this initiative lies in the collaborative, transdisciplinary development of a comprehensive composite material and human-machine interface, drawing upon expertise in material design, physical HMI, and 3D printing technology. Within this collaborative framework and network of expertise, a diverse array of geometries, topologies, and large-scale smart material systems will be designed, offering varying integration levels of interaction, dynamics, and functionality. Additionally, transfer options e.g. into the automotive and textile industries, will be explored and induced.

A pivotal element of this initiative lies in the collaborative, transdisciplinary development of a comprehensive composite material and human-machine interface, drawing upon expertise in material design, physical HMI, and 3D printing technology. Within this collaborative framework and network of expertise, a diverse array of geometries, topologies, and large-scale smart material systems will be designed, offering varying integration levels of interaction, dynamics, and functionality. Additionally, transfer options e.g. into the automotive and textile industries, will be explored and induced.
