How will our Work Experience change due to Robots? How will we learn in the Future? How will Robots help the Old and the Oldestold? By democratising Skills on global Scale.

Introducing CeTI

CeTI stands for Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop.

The vision of CeTI, a Cluster of Excellence at the University of Technology Dresden, is to enable people to interact with cyber-physical systems in the real or virtual world via intelligent communication networks and systems in near real time.

Such advances go far beyond the current state-of-the-art approaches in computer and engineering sciences: intelligent communication networks and adaptive CPS for quasi real-time co-operations with humans require online mutual learning mechanisms, which are crucial challenges.

To tackle these challenges, CeTI will conduct unique interdisciplinary research and will address major open research topics in key areas of the complexity of human control in the human–machine loop, sensor and actuator technologies, software and hardware designs, and the communication networks as the basis for several novel use cases grouped in medicine, industry, and the Internet of Skills.
