NEW 01.07.2026 Vision, Automation & Control Making Forgotten Print Traces Visible Project „A Mimeo Archaeology” explores the hidden history of Mimeography Teaching materials, activist leaflets, artists’ publications, and administrative documents were once frequently reproduced using mimeography – a now largely forgotten stencil-based process that was widely used in education, administration, art, and activism. As a previously underexplored part of Austria’s cultural heritage, these materials are now at the centre of the research project “A Mimeo Archaeology” (AMA). The project combines questions from the humanities with state-of-the-art technological methods. Together with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is developing AI-supported methods to identify, document, and preserve mimeographed documents over the long term. By bringing together media archaeology, heritage science, artistic research, and machine learning, AMA is creating new methodological approaches for the study and preservation of these materials. 4598 Characters 1 Image
NEW 29.05.2026 Vision, Automation & Control Powerful helpers for industry: AIT demonstrates autonomous machines live at the Festival of Robots AIT brings robotics from the laboratory to the city From 30 May to 5 June, Vienna will become an international hub for robotics: with the Festival of Robots at Karlsplatz (30–31 May) and ICRA 2026, the world’s leading robotics conference at Messe Wien (1–5 June), the spotlight will be on robotics as a key industrial technology. The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology will not only be presenting cutting-edge research at ICRA, but will also be showcasing autonomous machines live to the general public for the first time at the festival – as “powerful helpers” for industry, logistics, forestry, agriculture and the construction sector – and inviting the media, businesses, families and decision-makers to engage in dialogue. 4950 Characters 3 Images
