1 'Navigating Language Barriers'
    2 'Implementation of IFAS Psychoacoustics'
    • A scientist is discussing an application for IFAS (International Fund for Agricultural Science) that was initially submitted several years ago, but has yet to be filed due to various setbacks, including the destruction of an acoustic lab.
    • The application aims to study the psychoacoustic effects of different vehicles, such as combustion-powered and electric wheel loaders, by measuring the frequencies they generate as they operate.
    • The scientist is now seeking to revive the application, but proposes that IFAS should procure the necessary machines and handle the costs, rather than the researchers, to keep expenses down and facilitate the project's success.
    3 'Beyond the Rolling Mill'
    • The speaker is considering a new project related to designing a service on a rolling mill, potentially collaborating with Mr. Becker, and would like to start from scratch to clarify cooperation.
    • The project involves a psychoacoustic assessment, where they would work with the IFAS acoustic lab to study components, build on Mr. Vogt's work, and simulate acoustics to predict relationships between transmitter and receiver structures.
    • The goal is to develop a control system optimized for acoustic behavior, and the speaker is open to discussing and working together with others to achieve this goal.
    4 'Clarifying Funding Uncertainty'
    • The speaker is inquiring about the relevance and potential addition of a new feature, specifically FVB, to an existing funding program, considering its compatibility and functionality.
    5 'Exploring Engagement Opportunities'
    • Theresa found the missing engagement report and will revise it, aiming to submit it by the 4th.
    • Mr. Stolz will attend the event in Karlsruhe and try to negotiate an accelerated edit, which would be a positive development.
    • The next workshop will be a 4-day event, including a faculty council meeting, a PR session, and a meeting with a project officer from the EU to discuss the project's progress and rules.
    6 'Planning the Workshop Schedule'
    • The speaker is discussing a workshop and making a schedule for the next few days, but still needs to finalize the details.
    • They mention collaborating with colleagues, including Aalto and Exwood, to plan the event, and also discuss the logistics of the venue, including possible space constraints and alternative arrangements.
    • The speaker also shares some personal updates, including a recent trip to TU Dresden, a discussion about a study on robotics, and plans to reach out to a dealer through the KZT regarding a potential offer.
    7 'Developing Liebherr Trials Progress'
    • The sender attended Liebherr trials and discussed the budget, which has been completed but may need to be extended a bit longer.
    • The sender also discussed a meeting and a strategy workshop, where they planned for a budget of 2,000 euros for training and space, and arranged lunch and refreshments (16 euros for lunch, 8.50 euros for coffee and cake).
    • The sender mentioned golf lessons, coaching times, and a plan that has been distributed to coaches, who are booked for specific times, with breaks for coffee before and after.
    8 'Evaluating the Barker Application'
    • Mr. Barker applied for a research position on mobile robots, but lacks documentation and the team is not currently hiring.
    • The Vector Foundation has a call for proposals worth 1.5 million euros for young researchers on their way to a professorship, but the team is not sure if they qualify and the application deadline is July 50th.
    • The team is considering submitting an application from Mr. Katsuwato, who is close to completing his PhD, but is unsure if he is eligible and the chances of getting funding are low.
    9 'Review of Job Application Submissions'
    • The assistant has received applications for an engineer position and has selected two potential candidates: Mr. Li, with a PhD from KIT in construction and testing, and experience with demolition of nuclear power plants, and Mr. Hüttner, with 15 years of industry experience, mostly in the car industry.
    • The team needs to invite six people for an interview, and the assistant suggests scheduling one-and-a-half-hour time slots, with a focus on the criteria outlined in the proposal, including guiding people, Drittmittelakquise, industry experience, and experience in mobile working machines.
    • The team will discuss the invitations and decide on dates, with the 15th of May being a potential option, and the assistant will send out invitations to the selected candidates, including Mr. Li and Mr. Hüttner.
    10 'Assessing Critical Project Components'
    • The conversation revolves around discussing candidates for a position of asylum backer, with a focus on their qualifications and experience in related fields.
    • The team is considering five candidates, including three internal candidates from KIT, and two external candidates, with one being a Chinese person from Tongji University.
    • The team will conduct several rounds of interviews to assess the candidates' suitability for the position, with the goal of selecting the best fit for the role, while also fulfilling internal obligations to invite KIT candidates.
    11 Inviting Observers to the Interview
      12 'Discussing the Strategy Workshop Plan'
        Okay, other points, other topics. Shall we shortly discuss the strategy workshop again? So if you have some time left maybe we can discuss it. So

        one point is if now everything is finished we would suggest that we write an email to all the colleagues and one part is all the preparation stuff so last time we explained what we want to do

        and there's some preparation which all colleagues have to do so Mr. Hylian prepared some one-pager which each of them has to fill out and other point is last time we had this kind of introduction with the personensteckbriefe and we kind of used them now for a little bit different introduction so a part of them is kept the same and the other part is more to connect so where can I help others and where can I need support from others that' s both so maybe if you want both. That's what we want to share to all the colleagues and then they can prepare these templates or fill out these templates and then we can start the process of finding project ideas and all preparation for the strategy workshop. So one question would



        be, Simon, shall we write a May together with all information like for preparation and for organizational stuff as well? Or should we divide it so you write an organizational mail and we focus on preparation stuff? You can do it. Okay. I don't have to do that. I can do it. Very structured. Not everybody reads the email. You have to do this and that and that and that.

        In the follow you will get the information for that. When I said you are the blogger and now you can follow up, just blogger and say okay now. Can we fill out the blocker? I have to ask Kevin if I can. Please give me an information one week in advance how many people will participate. I think now we have 50 and this is what it is organized. I just need to know so the pros and the restaurant just have to get one final number. So we have 15 at the moment and include you it would be 16. Okay, perfect. Thank you. Just one additional information.





        So the templates from my side is this is one page for collecting the ideas and this is three slides of pitch for the presentation and defense. So from the pitches or from the idea there will be a selection and then you will precise or concretize this idea more in detail and this will be presented yeah that sounds good to me Oops.

        Oops. Oops. Sorry, I just didn't catch the point. How are we going to send out the email? Altogether. We will type that together. So we'll need an appointment to do the drafting of the email together. Or Niklas and I prepare... No, no, just you. We can do this together. Ah, okay. You don't have to be involved. So you're not the one who is going to send the email? No, I don't have to. I can help if it's necessary, but I don't have to. Okay, yeah, got the point.

        I have one last point from my side. I already have brought this point to Professor Geyner and Lucas in advance. So at the moment, me and my group members, we believe that driver technology does not cover the current topics, not half of them. So with the quick discussion with Professor Geyner and Lucas, I think I have this idea in mind to change the name to driver and operation systems. So fortune grouper and he's on to our by system. I believe this so we keep the name of drive is a conservative decision but good for transition and we have a new word operation to cover the operation operation operation operation that sounds good to me the only question is whether our system operation system is the correct transformation we are sometimes talking of working systems sometimes of working functions and so on so there are different possibilities so what I have decided with a colleague of mine in the SAE group there we are talking about the so-called working function so this is more or less related to the mechanical structure itself so this is the work function and we say okay in the powertrain we have the primary energy provision the combustion engine the traction drive the function drives and auxiliaries so we would here have the the function drives more or less this is what we call Arbeitssysteme so this is just something i i wanted to to mention because i think maybe the english translation to operation system is not uh the the the best one is not the german arbeitssystem it could be working work systems or function systems or what else i have no no no real good suggestion now but maybe you you can think again about it if operation system is the correct translation okay i think about it but the german uh naming that's that's okay for me yes okay yeah so we are more precise in german translation okay very good thank you very much so we will have in four minutes now a presentation
