Cutting-edge research on IOT-enabled devices, robotics, and cyber security.
During your time at the Fraunhofer IAO (Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation/Institute of Industrial Engineering) and in close collaboration with the University in Stuttgart IAT (Institut für Arbeitswissenschaft und Technologiemanagement/Institute of Human Factors and Technology Management) and industry partners, you will work at the intersection of Internet of Things (IOT) enabled devices, robotics, and cyber security. In the context of international research projects, you will have the opportunity to engage with highly interdisciplinary teams at Fraunhofer IAO who look at IT and cyber security holistically under consideration of economic viability and usability. You will explore IT security challenges with semi-humanoid, social robots like Pepper or MiRo and newly-built, experimental IoT enabled devices.
