Are robots stealing our jobs?

The robots are coming! But are they also coming for our jobs? The short answer is yes, but not necessarily in the way we imagine. The long answer you can read here from three researchers at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark.

Drones, biology, and AI: SDU researchers test groundbreaking technology in Kenya

On the savanna in Kenya, a group of researchers from the SDU UAS Center is currently conducting fieldwork alongside other drone researchers, biologists, and computer vision experts from across Europe. As part of the research project WildDrone, they are gathering knowledge about animal behavior and the potential of drones for conservation. The flights are carried out in collaboration with Kenyan partners and may improve efforts to protect species such as rhinos.

2024: Record in spinouts at SDU

Seven new companies founded by SDU researchers became a reality in 2024. This is the largest number of research-based companies from SDU in a single year to date – and the expectation is that a similar number will be founded in the coming years. One of the new SDU spinouts will develop a new treatment for patients with Huntington's disease. A market projected to be worth more than $2.5 billion by 2035.

5G technology can contribute to the integration of drones in airspace

If drone technology is to really take off, it requires that drones are integrated into the airspace and can fly alongside manned aviation. In the research project GENIUS, researchers from SDU, along with DTU, companies, and organisations, have shown how 5G technology could be part of the solution.
