Making work easier with ergonomic assistance systems is the mission of start-up EASE. The first prototypes are already helping people carry heavy loads. The exoskeletons were tested on production lines in the industry and logistics sectors, among other places. [read more]

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an innovative AI chip called “AI Pro” that operates without relying on cloud connectivity, making it especially secure and energy-efficient. The chip is based on a neuromorphic architecture inspired by the human brain, allowing it to process data directly on-site. [read more]

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a modular system that helps stroke patients regain movement in paralyzed arms and hands shortly after the event. The system combines an exoskeleton, targeted electrical stimulation, and a digital twin to provide personalized support. [read more]

If you want to study robotics, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) currently offers three Master's degree programmes. There is also a graduate programme for doctoral students, which is intended for students not necessarily studying core robotics disciplines. Plans are also underway for an international Master's programme and a Mechatronics Bachelor's degree. [read more]

Autonomous tractors in the field must be able to recognize people safely. Otherwise, it is impossible to send these vehicles off without a driver. With the help of a new safety model, Prof. Timo Oksanen of the Chair of Agromechatronics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) can rule out errors with almost 100 percent certainty.
