The CCASS (Competence Center for Applied Sensor Systems) is a competence center for applied sensor technology, with a research focus on object tracking and spatial navigation. The CCASS is headed by Markus Haid .
Inertial-based navigation systems are based on a constellation of acceleration and orientation sensors arranged orthogonally to one another , with the aid of which positions and orientations of an object moving in space can be determined. These systems are very flexible, as they do not require signals from their surroundings like other conventional navigation solutions. Consist low-cost Inertialsensorsysteme of simple, small and mass-producible usually sensor modules to miniaturized due to its lightweight and can be integrated above all very affordable navigation solutions. Further developing the inertial measuring units, which are otherwise heavily drifted, with regard to long-term stability and reliability and improving them using powerful algorithms is a central core competence of the CCASS. With the increased accuracy that can be achieved in this way, a wide variety of applications in everyday and industrial practice can be developed. The CCASS at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences is a central contact point for students, research institutions and companies to implement such applications of inertia-based navigation and to further develop their current state of the art . In addition, the CCASS bundles a wide range of sensor technology and supports research partners and users during the entire project implementation, including in the context of brainstorming, concept development and innovation workshops.
Research cooperation and doctoral cooperation CCASS - ZESS - IPA
The research cooperation between the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, the Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS) of the University of Siegen and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Engineering and Automation ( Fraunhofer IPA ), which has existed since 2009, provides a platform for the cooperation partners to jointly apply for research projects and to mutually support projects in which the CCASS is centrally involved as coordinator. In addition, the doctoral cooperation with the University of Siegen is intended to support the development of innovative projects and research work at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and to offer graduates and employees of the university a new, easier way to obtain a doctorate.
Cross-departmental training platform for automated metrological tasks (FAAMA)
As part of the “FAAMA” initiative, the CCASS, which, in addition to its main activity as a research facility, is a LabVIEW Academy certified by National Instruments, offers students, lecturers and employees from all departments at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences the opportunity to participate in advanced training seminars on LabVIEW application development complete the “Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer” (CLAD) exam.
