The Technical University of Munich and the Belgian research center imec aim to strengthen their collaboration in chiplet technologies. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) led by TUM Professor Dr.-Ing. Hussam Amrouch, the partnership will foster research, education, and knowledge exchange in chip design and packaging technologies. [read more]

GRATA is the name of the research project that the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is supporting with €1.91 million over the next three years. The project, coordinated by MIRMI member Ali Nasseri, professor at TUM Clinic, focuses on the development of a modular, AI-supported platform for robot-assisted surgery. The aim of the research project is to support medical staff in using robotic applications safely and competently. [read more]

A milestone for neurotechnology and robotics: A team at the University Hospital of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has, for the first time in Europe, implanted a brain-computer interface in a patient with paralysis. The goal is to use artificial intelligence and robotics to open up new ways for more independent interaction with the environment. [read more]

The invention by the start-up QTPIE, co-founded by TUM professor Achim Lilienthal, has made it onto the list of ‘Best Innovations’ published by the US magazine TIME. A modern smartphone on a car's dashboard monitors the road and the driver, calculating how well and safely they are driving: the Motor Vehicle Administration in the US state of Virginia is already preparing for its practical implementation.

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is consolidating its expertise in AI chip design with the launch of MACHT-AI – a center that brings research, education, and industry collaboration closer than ever before. [read more]

Can robots tackle one of the ocean’s most persistent challenges – underwater waste? Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) believe they can. As part of the EU project SEACLEAR 2.0, the team has developed an autonomous diving robot capable of detecting, classifying, and collecting marine litter entirely on its own. [read more]

Robotics – the term often suggests drones, humanoid machines, or collaborative robot arms. At TUM MIRMIs Intelligent Bio-Robotic Systems Group, the focus goes beyond that: wearable robotics that work directly on the human body. Instead of taking over tasks, these exosuits are designed to help people regain their own abilities. [read more]
