How can robots be integrated into workplaces to promote worker mental well-being and efficiency? The MindBot project is researching how a user-centered approach using collaborative robots can do just this.
Together with industry, researchers at the Technical University Munich (TUM) are shaping the future of work with the new "KI.FABRIK" (AI.Factory) and the German-French Academy for the Industry of the Future (GFA).
How will the future labor market look and are European education systems endowing the next generation with the skills they will need to succeed? These questions are at the heart of a new research project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
What are the links between migrant career prospects and their working abroad in the EU? This was a guiding question of a research project coordinated by the University of Bamberg. The project aimed to develop a long-term approach to supporting migrant worker integration and combating labor shortages in the EU.
A crime scene is often accessible only for a short period of time. During that time, all relevant evidence must be documented quickly, and even small details can prove crucial. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office (BLKA) are working together to fundamentally transform this process. Using artificial intelligence, investigators will be able to interact with virtual representations of crime scenes in the future.
TUM Venture Labs and Durst Group are launching a multi-year collaboration in the field of robotics, AI and automation for industrial production. This makes Durst part of the innovation ecosystem centered around the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the first Italian partner in the network of the TUM Venture Labs. Together with the start-up teams at the Venture Lab Robotics / AI, the partners will work on solutions to real-world industrial challenges.
The start-up OroraTech has been honored with the TUM Presidential Entrepreneurship Award for developing a satellite system capable of detecting wildfires. The other finalists for this year’s award were DeepDrive, with a highly efficient electric motor, and Lio Technologies, with AI agents that streamline procurement in companies. The award was presented at TUM Entrepreneurship Day.
- Exoskeleton reduces physical effort by up to 65 per cent. - The robot wirelessly transmits information about a component’s weight to the exoskeleton. - The robot can handle components weighing up to 15 kilograms.
The logistics industry is one of Germany’s key economic sectors—yet women remain significantly underrepresented in its leadership ranks. To explore the reasons behind this imbalance, Prof. Dr. Fridtjof Langenhan and Prof. Dr. Friedwart Lender, together with students from the Master’s degree program in Supply Chain Management and Logistics at Hof University of Applied Sciences, conducted an in-depth study. The newly published study, entitled “Strategies for Attracting and Promoting Female Leaders in the Logistics Sector: Results of a Study at Hof University of Applied Sciences,” identifies persistent barriers faced by women in leadership roles.
- Robotically-assisted precision surgery can be prepared in five minutes. - Robotics will be needed in the future to administer drugs for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. - Complications resulting from manual drug injection can be avoided.
