The DLR HIT Hand II from HIT (Harbin Institute of technology) and DLR Institut for Robotics and Mechatronic is further stage of the DLR HIT Hand I.In contrast to the DLR HIT Hand I the new DLR HIT Hand II has five modular fingers with four joint and three active degrees of freedoms and is still lighter and smaller.
At the DLR site in Jülich, the Institute of Future Fuels operates a globally unique facility: the Synlight solar simulator. Here, 149 medium-sized cinema projector lamps generate artificial sunlight with a light spectrum similar to that of natural sunlight. If they are simultaneously focussed on a small area, the concentrated radiation is up to 10,000 times more intense than natural solar ...
The Catena-X Automotive Network (Catena-X) is developing a collaborative, decentralised data and service ecosystem along the entire automotive value chain that will enable companies – from manufacturers, through SME suppliers and on to recycling businesses – to benefit from the advantages of data-based management whilst simultaneously being covered by European law with regard to data ...
The DLR Light Weight Robot III (LWR III) is a light-weight robot with seven degrees of freedom, which was in 2003 presented to the public for the first time. The DLR Light Weight Robot III (LWR III) represents the third generation of light-weight robots developed at …
TerraSAR-X was realised on behalf of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with funds from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy. It is the first German satellite to be realised as part of a public-private partnership (PPP) between DLR and Airbus Defence and Space (formerly Astrium): The use of TerraSAR-X data for scientific purposes is the responsibility of DLR, which is also responsible ...
