Demo Day of AI Prototyping 101 at the ARENA über:morgen event

In the FüSQ "AI Prototyping 101: From Idea to Reality", students consider how AI can help solve everyday problems. As part of the overarching theme of this year's summer semester, "How to get home safer", the two challenges were contributed by the startup Eve. Eve certifies bars, clubs, cafés, etc. as safe places and offers other services to make nightlife and the journey home as safe as possible. The task of the student teams was to develop solutions for one of the two challenges in such a way that they use AI and can also be implemented in the Eve app.

Two teams developed solutions for the challenge "How can we use technical data to recognize if a person is in danger?", three teams worked on the challenge "What can be used to identify which way is safer or more dangerous than another?"

At the über:morgen event in the ARENA2036, all teams confidently presented their ideas.

Team WE-LAI opted for the second challenge and analyzed city districts according to their safety and developed a prototype for a routing algorithm on this basis.

Team South Pole also developed a solution for the second challenge. They identified safe places certified by Eve that are preferred when creating a route home.

Team AI 3XP3RT5 opted for the first challenge and presented the Eve SmartBand, which uses vital signs and evaluates whether the person wearing the SmartBand is potentially in danger using defined parameters. An emergency contact is informed in the event of danger and receives the location.

Team AI Powerhouse also used vital signs, but linked the sensors on the smartphone and smartwatch with the Eve app to detect danger and raise the alarm.

Last but not least, Team Sushi presented another solution for the second challenge. This time, user feedback is used in real time to create the safest possible route. Certified safe places and well-lit streets are also preferred here.

All teams were rewarded with great applause for their creativity and the courage to pitch on a large stage and then celebrated the successful conclusion with delicious food and drinks.

In total, over 30 students and doctoral candidates from 19 degree programs took part in the FüSQ.

The FüSQ "AI Prototyping 101: From Idea to Reality" is part of the IKILeUS project (funded by the BMBF) and takes place every summer semester. It is open to students from all study programs.
