Vom Locktopf zur KI-Beobachtungsstation – Ein Projekt zur Unterstützung bei der Bekämpfung der Asiatischen Hornisse
Die Asiatische Hornisse breitet sich in Europa weiter aus und stellt besonders Imker, Naturschutz und Kommunen vor neue Herausforderungen. Doch wie erkennt man ihre Aktivität frühzeitig, wenn niemand dauerhaft vor Ort sein kann? In diesem Vortrag zeige ich, wie aus einem einfachen Locktopf mit Kamera-Modul, Mikrocontroller, 3D-Druckteilen und lokaler KI-Erkennung eine kleine DIY-Monitoringstation entsteht. Der konkrete Anwendungsfall ist die Asiatische Hornisse, der Maker-Kern dahinter ist aber universell: günstige Hardware, Edge-AI, Offline-Speicherung und Citizen Science für praktisches Umweltmonitoring.

Parents add their own audio files and organise content through a mobile app. With no subscription, no advertising and no cloud dependency for playback, the MusicBox is designed to be repairable and customisable. Combining electronics, 3D printing and the joy of making, it encourages children to explore through listening and families to create together.

Meshcore (LoRa) + Amateur Radio
Meshcore is an off-grid mesh networking technology based on the LoRa protocol. Used for quick and independent communication, the luxemburgish network is growing. As it is licence-free, everyone can take part and be part of the network. With the help of many users, this decentralized network grows and the Meshcore protocol makes it self-healing. Discover this exciting project and how you can get part of it. As an amateur radio association, we use a lot of other technologies for communication besides the publicly available Meshcore network. Visit our booth and get more information on ham radio networks.
