New Courses

The I.MDL - Intelligent Machine Design Lab is part of a multi-semester course series, which aims to enable TUM master's students to develop and build complex and powerful mechatronic systems with high social and economic relevance. Students learn to develop product ideas independently and to transfer them step-by-step into near-series product prototypes. After completing the module series, students will be able to evolve complex mechatronic-system projects. Particular focus is placed on the development of multi-disciplinary design and integration skills and their use in an interdisciplinary team.

Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft des langen Lebens. Über 16 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland sind älter als 67 Jahre, 6 Millionen über 80 Jahre. Und nach aktuellen Berechnungen ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr hoch, dass von den jetzigen Geburtsjahrgängen jede(r) Dritte 100 Jahre alt wird. Keine Frage: Der demografische Wandel verändert unsere Gesellschaft tiefgreifend, nicht nur zwangsläufig die Sozialversicherungssysteme, sondern alle Lebensbereiche, von der Arbeitswelt über Mobilität und Konsumverhalten bis hin zur Kultur und Freizeitgestaltung.

Mit der Alterung der Gesellschaft wächst aber auch die Zahl der Menschen, die im Alter auf Pflege angewiesen sind. Im Jahre 2030 werden es wohl 5 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland sein, die dauerhaft Hilfe und Unterstützung brauchen. Alle Experten sind sich einig, dass dieser wachsende Hilfebedarf nur mit dem Einsatz neuer, lebensdienlicher Technik zu bewältigen ist. Denn im Zuge des demografischen Wandels schwinden gleichzeitig die humanen Ressourcen, es gehen uns schlichtweg die „jüngeren helfenden Hände“ für immer mehr Pflegebedürftige aus.

Die Vorlesung „Responsible Robotics“ greift diese vielfältigen Fragestellungen einer alternden Gesellschaft im Zuge des demogarfischen Wandels auf und richtet sich an Studierende im Master-Studiengang, die sich erstmals (vertiefend) mit der „Gesellschaft des langen Lebens“ unter den verschiedensten Aspekten und Fragestellungen befassen. Die Vorlesungsreihe vermittelt dazu die wichtigen Fakten und Hintergrundinformationen. Dabei wird es auch um die Frage gehen, welchen Beitrag insbesondere die Ingenieurwissenschaften leisten können, um einer immer älter werdenden Gesellschaft ein Leben in Selbständigkeit zu ermöglichen und so lange wie möglich zu erhalten.

Verantwortlich für die Vorlesung ist Dr. Stefan Arend, seit Wintersemester 2021 / 2022 Lehrbeauftragter der TUM für das Fach „Demografischer Wandel und Gesellschaft des Langen Lebens“. Arend befasst sich seit über drei Jahrzehnten mit diesen Themenfeldern und publiziert regelmäßig auch zu Fragen von Pflege und Wohnformen für das Alter.

Die Vorlesung findet in drei Blöcken in München und Garmisch-Partenkirchen statt: I: 28.4. und 29.4.2022 (München), II: 19.5. und 20.5.2022 (Garmisch-Partenkirchen) und III: 28.6. und 29.6.2022 (München). Am 19.05.2022 und am 20.5.2022 sind die Besichtigungen des Forschungszentrums Geriatronik (Robotik und KI in der Pflege), der LongLeif gGmbH des Marktes Garmisch-Partenkirchen und einer Senioreneinrichtung in Garmisch-Partenkirchen geplant.

International Cooperation

ICL - MSRM is a growing cooperation initiative for research in the domain of robotics and machine intelligence. PIs and TUM students can access more information on the MSRM wiki.
