About AIRAES

The name of our StartUp AIRAES stands for Artificial Intelligence, Robotics And Education Support

The hard- and software company AIRAES is particularly committed to offering people products and services that are useful to them and help them to prosper. For this purpose, AIRAES develops artificial intelligent hard- and software-systems.

We want to realize high-quality applications that can be used in industry, medicine, agriculture, in various areas of education, training and further education.

We see the key to solving the current and future challenges for humanity in the evolvement of each individual.

Technology can never replace this evolvement, but it can support it, especially if our technologies are ethically sound, sustainable and in harmony with our "over" living space.

As a start-up, we are on the way to realizing our vision step by step. We are happy about every comrade-in-arms and expedition participant on our journey.

AIRAES’s major activities
Development of

• artificial intelligence itself, represented as software, i.e. artificial intelligence algorithms, deep neural nets and so forth and creating, collecting, and processing training data to support their development
• all kind of software components to support that artificial intelligence
• software products which use the developed artificial intelligence components
• hardware components (also small robots) to support our software products (in future)

AIRAES-EAR, the Expedition-Project to which we would like to invite you

AIRAES-EAR – the accurate ear for an artificial intelligence –
With AIRAES-EAR we attend the AI-Innovation-Competition (KI-Innovationswettbewerb) of the German federal Land Baden-Württemberg this year and we are now supported by:

Baden-Württemberg
MINISTERIUM FÜR WIRTSCHAFT, ARBEIT UND TOURISMUS

AIRAES-EAR will be base AI technology.
It will be developed with a new kind of deep neural net architecture.
With AIRAES-EAR we work at the cutting edge in the field of artificial intelligence
AIRAES-EAR will master very difficult sound recognition tasks in fields where sound patterns contain valuable information such as:
Music Information Retrieval (MIR), Ecology, Biology, Agriculture, Manufacturing Industry and furthermore.
AIRAES-EAR will enable other AI systems to interpret sound in an unpreceded recognition quality.

How does our expedition team work?
