Airbus Fly Your Ideas is a global competition, designed by Airbus in partnership with UNESCO, which challenges students worldwide to innovate for the future of aerospace.This is a fast-moving and exciting time for aerospace and Fly Your Ideas is a unique opportunity for students worldwide to activate their pioneering spirit and innovate for the future. With support from Airbus employees from across the company, we encourage students to think big, be bold and help transform the world of aerospace.
The 2019 competition is focused on using the latest digital technologies to create smart solutions for a safer, cleaner and better-connected world.
Since 2008, over 20,000 students have registered for Fly Your Ideas from over 650 universities and 100 countries worldwide, with more than 400 Airbus employees volunteering their time to support the competition.
The competition involves three progressively competitive and challenging rounds concluding with a live final. Up to 6 finalist teams will present their ideas to a Jury of Airbus and industry experts for a chance to win a share of the €45,000 prize fund to take their idea forward within the industry.
Meet the Team AIQinspect, one of the 7 finalist teams in the Airbus #FlyYourIdeas competition! Remember, the final round of the competition will take place in Toulouse on the 27th of June, and will be livestreamed so don’t miss it!
The Team AIQinspect is representing the Saarland University, in Germany, with the “Automated Intelligent Real-Time Quality Inspection Exploiting Human-Robot-Collaboration” project.
Their idea: Replacing the human aspect of rivet inspection with an intelligent automated process which determines the quality by classification based on images and physical parameters while riveting in real time. The resulting information is communicated to the operator via Augmented Reality. The proposed solution could make the aircraft production process faster and more efficient.
