The Mechanical Engineering Student Council has awarded Professor Daniel Rixen and his research assistants Moritz Sattler and Philipp Radecker the ‘Goldens Lehre’ 2024/25 for their master's degree lecture on robot dynamics. Every year, students at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) evaluate the quality of lectures given by more than 40 professors in mechanical engineering. [read more]

Jia Chen measures greenhouse gases and air quality in Munich at nearly 150 stations. Greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter: nothing escapes the attention of the professor of environmental sensor technology and modelling at the Technical University of Munich and head of the environment department at TUM MIRMI. For the first time, she is enabling the city of Munich to monitor greenhouse gases precisely – and is accompanying Munich on its path to climate neutrality by 2035. [read more]

Needles are often difficult to detect in the body during surgical procedures using ultrasound. A research team from the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now developed a method that causes needles to vibrate slightly, making them visible. Doctoral student Dianye Huang was awarded the Best Innovation Award for this achievement at the Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Centre (MRC) Symposium 2025. [read more]

Making start-ups successful and building next-generation research infrastructure: These are the two core tasks of the MIRMI Board Member for Start-ups and Infrastructure, Eckehard Steinbach. In recent years, young robotics companies at TUM have received more than 20 million euros in funding. A great success for the man who is also responsible for the TUM MIRMI research laboratories and is currently pushing ahead with several major construction projects that will benefit the entire robotics community at TUM.
