We Create Innovative Showcases and Bring Them to the World!

The Robo-Kart

A New Way of Autonomous Driving

Why Be Yourself When You Can Be Jonas?

Innovation Hacking is an initiative within TNG Technology Consulting. We develop showcases in hard- and software that demonstrate the value of cutting edge IT technologies since 2013. Our projects and the talks that we write about them have been presented on fairs and conferences all over the world.

Projects

Learning by doing, that's our favourite way of learning. Even more so when the doing is fun. So naturally, we created quite a few high tech showcases and demos over the years that are both fun to experience and work on. Check out a selection of our recent projects!

The Robo-Kart

A New Way of Autonomous Driving

What happens if you place a robot in a world made for humans? Meet G1PO, TNG’s humanoid AI with eyes, purpose-built joints and the work ethics of Wall-E. It walks on its own using cameras, depth perception, and LiDAR to figure out where it is and where to go next. It has the body and skill of a human and is capable of doing many impressive tasks - like being strapped into a go-kart, turning it into one of the most over-engineered autonomous vehicles to date. Our G1PO offers a glimpse into a future where robots learn from, work alongside and grow with us.

Realtime Deepfakes

Always be yourself. Unless you can be Jonas.

Today’s real-time Deepfake technology makes it possible to create indistinguishable doppelgängers of a person and let them participate in video calls.Since 2019, the TNG Innovation Hacking Team has intensively researched and continuously developed the AI around real-time Deepfakes.Since its first appearance in 2017, Deepfakes have evolved enormously from an AI gimmick to a powerful tool.Meanwhile different media outlets such as Leschs Kosmos, Galileo and other television formats have been using TNG Deepfakes.

AI Photobooth

I'll have that photo with a side of space dinosaurs

Lights, camera, multiverse. TNG’s AI Photobooth grabs up to three willing co‑stars, snaps clean portraits, and lets you pick the backdrop. From a Dinosaur-filled tech conference to a castle on the moon, the possibilities are endless. Then it automagically blends your faces into the scene with matching light and perspective using the power of AI. Give the preview a nod, and it spits out a glossy photo print to decorate your offices, fairs, and any lobby in dire need of a little wow.

Space Supervision with MaRLOS

Your friendly snitch

MaRLOS (Machine-Regulated Logic Operating System) runs our Makerspace with the patience of a saint and the judgemental gaze of an all-seeing AI. With a Vision-Language Model designed to detect every misplaced item and an LLM agent that determines your fate, MaRLOS acts as both referee and informant, embodying the spirit of a vigilant overseer. Break a rule and it might gently ping you on Slack — or loudly shame you through the speakers in front of everybody. Designed to keep chaos in check, MaRLOS ensures the Makerspace remains a creative haven… provided you remember to clean up after yourself. Otherwise, MaRLOS remembers for you.

Generating slide decks is boring, let's automate that!

How good could an AI-generated PowerPoint presentation actually be? We tried it and found out: Not too shabby at all.In the age of digitisation and AI, many tasks in our everyday lives can be automated very easily. But until recently, the everlasting torment of the average white collar, the PowerPoint presentation, had to be painstakingly created and presented by hand. But all of that ends now!The TNG Innovation Hacking Team presents the PowerPoint Ghostwriter. Give it only the title and it automagically generates a complete slide deck, from headlines to matching images. Even the performance is taken over by artificial intelligence: a realistic deep fake avatar - trained with the knowledge of the entire Internet - takes you through the slides.
