28 May Volkswagen Group in collaboration to strengthen research on AI and Mobility
(Oilandgaspress) -–Volkswagen Group and Technische Universität (TU) Braunschweig are establishing a new professorship for “AI Methods in Product Development”. The goal of the partnership is to further expand top level research in the mobility sector and accelerate the transfer of scientific knowledge into industrial practice.
The professorship aims to tap into the full spectrum of artificial intelligence within mobility research – from virtual product development and mechatronic systems to autonomous driving functions and the analysis of real world vehicle usage data. In doing so, it strengthens research at the interfaces of modern mobility systems and provides impulses for new AI based development processes.
The professorship will be located at the Institute of Engineering Design at TU Braunschweig and will work closely with the University’s own Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF: Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik). With more than 1,000 researchers, over 40 institutes, and more than 50 corporate partners, the NFF is one of Europe’s strongest mobility research centers. The position is planned to be filled promptly, ideally by October 2026. After five years, it is intended to transition into a tenured professorship.
The professorship is also intended to act as a driver for further expanding the regional innovation ecosystem in Lower Saxony and to involve suppliers, start ups, and additional research partners. It strengthens the transfer from science into industrial practice by incorporating practical requirements into research. In this way, it accelerates the scaling of innovative technologies and the sustainable transformation of industrial applications.
