Robot “Jack” Safely Navigates Through Crowds

NEWS, TUM Press Release |

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an innovative robot that can move safely and autonomously through crowds of people. The robot uses a combination of sensors and intelligent algorithms to predict the behavior of people and adapt its route in real time. In the future, this technology could be of great importance not only for humanoid robots, but also in the field of autonomous driving to enable safe interaction between humans and machines.

The robot adapts its movements ten times per second by analysing and optimizing the behaviour of people in its environment. The system continuously learns from people's movement patterns and becomes more and more human-like in its decision-making. In practice, this technology could be used not only in delivery robots, but also in autonomous vehicles or wheelchairs to ensure reliable and safe navigation.
