The DLR LOKI project invites you to the LOKI Symposium on 24–25 June 2026 at the ZAL in Hamburg. Together with industry and research partners, we have been investigating how humans and AI can collaborate safely, trustingly and effectively on complex aviation tasks. Look forward to presentations on our findings, live demos and poster sessions with interactive discussions!
Highlight – Live presentations:
- DIRC – Digital Interactive Reliable Controller
- IPAS – the intelligent pilot assistance system
- ConCenT – Control Centre Simulation
- Eye-tracking measurements
Highlight – Presentations by experts:
- Ines Berlenga (EASA)
- Jörg Buxbaum (DFS)
- Prof. Frank Flemisch (RWTH Aachen)
- Prof. Markus Langer (University of Freiburg)
LOKI – Collaboration between aviation operators and AI systems
The aviation industry is currently working intensively on the introduction of AI systems. Unlike the assistance systems already in use, AI systems learn by processing large amounts of data, thereby enabling them to adapt to the specific environment and users. Trusted collaboration between humans and AI systems is of central importance, as aviation safety is the top priority. The European aviation authorities EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and Eurocontrol are working on the framework conditions for the introduction of AI systems. To this end, both the development of AI systems in aviation and the interaction between AI systems and users must be safe, reliable, predictable and transparent. In the LOKI project, scientists are researching the fundamentals for the introduction of AI systems for flight guidance and air traffic control. The results of the four-year DLR LOKI project will provide guidelines, prototype systems and insights into the human-centred design of a trustworthy collaboration between humans and AI systems.
