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]

Robots can be powerful, precise – or surprisingly sensitive. Yet until now, there has been no unified system to reliably measure and compare their abilities. Researchers at TUM MIRMI have now developed a method that systematically assesses the "fitness" of robots for the first time. [read more]

Researchers at TUM have developed a robotic system that can provide critical treatment for life-threatening tension pneumothorax—even during medical evacuation flights. [read more]

From June 24 to 27, 2025, the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich will showcase around 25 demonstrations on robotics and artificial intelligence at automatica. Under the umbrella of the high-tech platform munich_i, TUM and the Robotics Institute Germany will appear together, connecting research, industry, and startups. [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]

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.
