The world of tomorrow is already taking place today - whether in the development of autonomous driving for more environmentally friendly mobility or research into the Internet of Things, which simplifies our everyday lives through artificial intelligence. Fraunhofer IPMS is developing the sensory organs for these applications - optical sensors with micromirrors that enable multidimensional perception of the environment as well as innovative communication solutions for data transmission of the Internet of Things. The technologies form the interface between the digital and real worlds and contribute to a better quality of life, energy efficiency and safety.
