Engagement Research
Committed to Innovation
snap, a technology company, is focusing heavily on AI research and development. The goal is not only to further develop AI in products, but also a brain-computer interface system. This is being driven forward thanks to a broad research network and the expertise of its employees. Funded by the EU and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, SNAP cooperates with various institutions, including Klaeslab Bochum and university hospitals.
GenISys
Intelligent plant configuration with generative AI
The GenISys project aims to research and prototype an intelligent system for the resource-saving configuration of automated filling systems. The main objectives of the project are to research and develop generative AI models for system configuration, to set up a modularized AI pipeline for training processes and to develop human-in-the-loop concepts in the configuration and operating phase of filling systems in order to ensure synergies between AI and human expertise. The project is being carried out by the University of Wuppertal, Snap GmbH and Haver & Boecker OHG.
VAFES-Projekt
In the VAFES project, we and our project partners have developed a standardized test for neurological movement disorders such as Parkinson's. Using biosignals and movement data, analyzed by machine learning and implemented in virtual reality, we enable modern diagnostic and therapy control for hand and arm dysfunctions. SNAP GmbH has developed the electronics of the measuring system and the data management system for the biosignals.
REXO-Projekt
In the REXO project, we have developed a comprehensive rehabilitation system with an adaptive exoskeleton for upper extremities. This includes movement tasks in virtual reality, a feedback system based on biosignals and a decoder for brain-computer interfaces. The individually adaptable exoskeleton takes specific disease conditions into account. SNAP GmbH has developed a brain-computer interface for this exoskeleton in order to control it specifically via the brain and support rehabilitation.
