The contribution relates to the research project "Mechatronic Ski Binding". In the project funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation, the professorship works together with the companies MARKER (ski binding manufacturer), Völkl (ski manufacturer), Interactive Wear (textile electronics), Schöffel (clothing manufacturer) and 2D Meßsysteme (measurement technology) on a mechatronic ski binding with the aim of reducing injuries in alpine skiing.
