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]
