BMW to bank on AI to develop battery technology
Under the partnership, doctoral candidates and students from the University of Zagreb will collect and structure existing production data. This data will then be used to create AI models that recognise certain patterns in the data, enabling them to make predictions on how production can be further optimised in terms of performance, quality and costs.
Zdenko Tonković, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture at the University of Zagreb, explained how the institution would benefit from the deal: “As a university, we offer the BMW Group access to the latest research results and innovative ideas, while our students benefit from the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.”
“Through this joint project, we inspire students for the BMW Group and the innovative work in our battery cell competence centers,” explains Moritz Poremba, Head of Battery Cell Recycling Technology Development at the BMW Group. “Of course, we also hope to attract young talents to our company.”
BMW has recently been hedging its bets in the area of drive technology, and investing in fuel cell vehicles, announcing plans for a new hydrogen series model by 2028 just a few days ago, as well as intensifying work with Toyota on fuel cell technologies. In August, the German company presented a new hybrid estate car.
