Increasing the perception mechanism of robotic systems, and therefore their level of autonomy, is a challenging task, particularly when production costs must be maintained at a minimum. To enhance the autonomous capabilities of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) without increasing production costs, we propose a novel 2D-Lidar mirror combination with a main focus on the calibration procedure and the resulting performance figures. This approach leverages precise calibration to enhance the robot’s perception without the necessity of adding costly sensors such as 3D-Lidars, thereby maintaining affordability while simultaneously increasing the effectiveness of 2D-Lidar sensors.
Given the environmental and social challenges the world faces, social entrepreneurship gained an instrumental role addressing these challenges. In this context it is important to understand what drives and motivates these types of social entrepreneurs and, eventually, how can new entrepreneurs be motivated to engage socially. This article applies the three basic needs of self-determination theory - competence, autonomy, and social integration - to the field of sustainable entrepreneurship opening up promising perspectives for promoting and motivating sustainable entrepreneurs. When applying this theory to the motivation continuum one can gain not only insights about the fulfillment of the three basic needs of sustainable entrepreneurs but also better understand their motivational drivers and how to eventually reach the highest level of intrinsic motivation. Overall, this work aims to contribute to the development of more effective support and educational programs aiming to attract and motivate more people to engage in sustainable entrepreneurship.
Die EU-Kommission hat einen Mangel an Datenverfügbarkeit als zentrale Wachstumsbremse der Wirtschaft im europäischen digitalen Raum identifiziert. Mit dem vorgelegten Abschlussbericht des durch Interreg ABH geförderten Projekts Data Sharing Framework für KMU präsentieren die Forscherinnen und Forscher der HTWG Konstanz (D), der ZHAW School of Engineering, der ZHAW School of Management and Law, der OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule (CH) und der FH Vorarlberg (AT) Vorschläge, um die Vision eines digitalen Europas, in dem Unternehmen und Bürger:innen fundierte Entscheidungen auf der Grundlage von Daten treffen können, zu unterstützen.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in the economy, representing 99% of companies in Germany and employing over half the workforce. Despite their importance, many SMEs lack the capacity, structure, and expertise needed for effective business development (BD). This limits their ability to manage complex innovation initiatives and adapt to changing market conditions. A study involving SMEs in the Lake Constance region revealed that BD responsibilities often fall to CEOs or sales managers without dedicated roles or explicit budgets. While SMEs demonstrate technological strengths, they face challenges in project management, economic evaluation, and external recruitment. The findings emphasize the need for defined BD roles, targeted training, and strategic use of digital tools and AI to address resource gaps. Practical recommendations include allocating specific budgets, developing internal competencies, and leveraging AI to streamline data analysis and decision-making, enabling SMEs to thrive in dynamic environments.

In this study, we quantify and compare the energy saving potential of intelligent thermostats in a seminar room under five different scenarios using a combination of thermal simulations and measurements. Coupling the thermostats to occupancy and window contact sensors results to be the most effective installation to maximize energy savings under minimal loss of comfort by lower temperatures.

Learning Physics Methods
(2024)
For many years, a team of physicists at the HTWG Konstanz has been shifting the focus of physics education from teaching “content” to teaching “methods”. An overview is given on the derived state. Several questions are addressed, such as: What are the advantages? Are there constraints and limits? How can a shift be achieved? What are student reactions and how does other teaching staff deal with the new situation
Climate change, a transnational issue, necessitates international collaboration for effective mitigation. Despite the progress achieved by the Paris Agreement of 2015, a significant milestone in global cooperation, its implementation remains a challenge for both the international community and individual countries. Because of the agreement's optional nature, there are significant differences in terms of the ambition and achievement levels among signatories. The European Union (EU) stands out because of its unique structure and common policies, yet there is a lack of empirical research into their impact on climate policy effectiveness. This paper aims to fill this gap by comparing the effectiveness of the implementation between EU and non-EU countries in terms of policy output, achieving climate targets and an economically sustainable transition. Quantitative regression models show no significant differences concerning policy output and the achievement of climate targets, while they demonstrate greater ambition and success in economically sustainable transition. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of effective climate policies, highlight the positive impact of EU leadership in this regard, and stress the importance of international cooperation.
