[VERSCHOBEN HERBST 2025] Webinar: Künstliche Intelligenz für KMU – Verstehen & Anwenden

Written by dsa_admin on .

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) bietet auch vielen kleinen und mittelgrossen Unternehmen (KMU) das Potenzial, ihre Effizienz und Produktivität zu steigern. Allerdings wissen KMU oft nicht, wie und wo sie mit KI beginnen sollen. Mit dieser Veranstaltungen möchten wir Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, wie das Verständnis und die Anwendung von KI erleichtert werden kann – vom Aufbau von Vertrauen in KI-Technologien, über KI Regulierung bis hin zum strategischen sowie operativ erfolgreichen Einsatz. 

Grundlage hierfür bilden der KMU KI Leitfaden von Innovate Switzerland, der Skills Navigator von Microsoft und der neue KI Praxis-Ratgeber von SAIROP und Erfahrungen aus Umsetzungsprojekten im Rahmen des Innovation Booster Artificial Intelligence. Es werden Einblicke in typische Bereiche des KI-Einsatzes gegeben, Qualifikationsrichtlinien zur Beurteilung von KI-Anwendungsfällen vorgestellt und mögliche Umsetzungsansätze sowie Erfolgsmuster diskutiert.

Agenda (subject to change!)

08:30 – 09:00:Registration and Welcome Coffee
09:00 – 09:30:Opening Remarks by Swiss Cobotics Competence Center
and Innovation Boosters Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
09:30 – 10:30:Presentation of the challenges

Challenge 1: Coworking and Learning
  • With the participation of: Baptiste Busch, AICA and Maryam Reyazati, ZHAW
    		•
    Understanding human practices within the context of human-robot interaction is crucial for robots to adjust their behaviors appropriately. However, this presents several challenges. Not only do technical tasks and ethical considerations come into play, but also the fact that different individuals interact in unique ways, making the development of universally applicable algorithms extremely difficult. Furthermore, ensuring precise communication and task allocation in the human-robot workflow is essential, especially considering the proximity between humans and robots.

    Challenge 2: Data Management
  • With the participation of: Jensen Björn, HSLU and Yves Albers, Roboto AI
    		•
    Most robots work with both filtered and uncensored data, not only for robot training and learning tasks but also directly acquired in-process by physical sensors. Nowadays, tasks such as training may require a large amount of data. This can be challenging in terms of data overload, costs of data analytics integration, and robust data management practices.
    10:30 – 10:45:Coffee Break
    10:45 – 12:15:Breakout groups
    12:15 – 13:45:Networking Lunch
    13:45 – 14:45:Presentation of the challenges

    Challenge 3: Responsibe Collaboration
  • With the participation of: Andreas Hufschmid, Pilz Switzerland and Andrei Cramariuc, RSL – ETH
    		•
    Both humans and machines occasionally fail at specific tasks, making it essential to consider failure scenarios in developing robust interaction frameworks. By understanding and leveraging failure data, we aim to improve the design, development, control, and robustness robots, ensuring more resilient and adaptive human-robot interactions. To achieve this, we will explore methods for identifying and capturing failure events, analyzing their causes, and utilizing this data to improve the reliability and performance of robotic systems.

    Challenge 4: Self-improvement of Robots
  • With the participation of: Sina Mirrazavi and Sylvain Calinon, Idiap Research Institute
    		•
    One aspect of robustness involves the capacity for a robot to enhance its knowledge and behavior autonomously. This means it should possess a degree of flexibility to adapt and apply abilities to new situations as needed. Achieving this context-driven, adaptive autonomy, which relies on common-sense knowledge and practical manipulation tasks, demands extensive programming and often involves on-platform data management & analytics.
    14:45 – 15:00:Coffee Break
    15:00 – 16:30:Breakout groups
    16:30 – 17:00:Conclusions: Sharing Discussions and Findings

    Co-Creation Workshop: Low-Code/No-Code Technology for Digital Health Innovation

    Written by dsa_admin on .

    Hosted at the REFSQ 2024 conference in Winterthur on Monday 8 th April 2024

    This workshop is co-organized with the Innovation Booster Digital Health Nation

    No single industry is left untouched by the digital transformation. The success of this transformation is determined by how well the stakeholders in the specific sectors adopt digital technologies and how productively they utilize them. In the field of digital health innovation, new technologies are increasingly being used, especially at the interfaces between healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and insurers. In this workshop we focus on low-code/no-code technology that reduces the traditional distance
    between requirements engineering and software development.

    The requirements for these technologies are complex and need to be elicited from heterogeneous sources to ensure full coverage of stakeholders’ needs. Accordingly, many challenges exist, such as:

    • How to design reliable systems in complex environments with many stakeholders?
    • How to enhance the communication and interpretation of requirements?
    • How to effectively reduce the technical knowledge gap of domain experts?
    • How to actively engage healthcare experts in the software prototyping process?
    • How to automatically integrate business logic and domain data specified in Excel sheets or other business artifacts?
    • How to ensure early in the development process that the solution is going to meet the requirements?
    • How to integrate healthcare-related regulations and standards in software solutions?
    • How to ensure that digital solutions are sustainable in terms of technical, social, individual, economic, and environmental aspects?
    • How to enhance the human understanding and evolvability of digital solutions?
    • Etc.

    This one-day interactive workshop will engage the participants in the analysis of contemporary challenges with the objective of collaboratively identifying the research and industry actions to achieve sustainable digital health innovation. The envisioned participants include applied researchers and engineers from the MedTech-domain, combined with some interested international experts that attend the main REFSQ 2024 conference. Various aspects on the way from idea to practical implementation and application will be
    highlighted and discussed in short break-out sessions. The goal is to prepare outlines for Innosuisse project proposals that need to be worked out in small teams after the workshop.

    The workshop is hosted and organized by the ZHAW’s Software Engineering research group and the Innovation Booster Artificial Intelligence.
