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.

Maximilian Rettinger and his team at the Chair of Human-Machine Communication at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are working on an interactive mixed reality method to enable robots to be programmed faster and without prior technical knowledge in the future. The aim is to make control more intuitive, simpler, and significantly more efficient. [read more]

With more than 60 publications and workshops, the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is represented at this year’s ICRA. The IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, or ICRA for short, will take place from May 19th to 23rd in Atlanta, USA. This is one of the world’s leading events in the field of robotics and automation, bringing together experts from academia and industry. [read more]

Robotic systems will have a more significant impact on our future lives than ever before. Autonomous vehicles transport goods or people in our transportation networks, household robots support us with everyday tasks like cleaning or folding clothes, and healthcare robots operate in clinics or nurseries. Accordingly, the necessary skills should be developed early on in training and studies. [read more]
