Applied computer scientists at the University of Bamberg are currently developing an AI medical companion that will help doctors in recognising and diagnosing types of cancer and pain.
The interdisciplinary collaborative project ALIGN will establish a research framework to systematically address the legal, ethical and societal issues surrounding new genomic techniques (NGT) in plant breeding. The University of Bayreuth is responsible for the overall coordination of the project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are developing a harvesting robot for asparagus. They programmed a prototype that detects and localizes ripe green asparagus, moving at a commercially attractive speed. Further testing is planned to develop the harvest ability of the robot.
Since 2023, more e-bikes have been sold in Germany than conventional bicycles. But the number of crashes has been rising just as sharply. Doctors at The Technical University of Munich’s TUM University Hospital analyzed patterns in e-bike crashes and found that older men face a particularly high risk of serious injury. The data also revealed clear patterns in the underlying risk factors.
With the SHAPE project – Shared Healthy Ageing Perceptions and Expectations – the University of Bayreuth, together with Australian Catholic University (ACU), is launching an international research cooperation dedicated to the challenges of healthy ageing.
Students at Hof University of Applied Sciences Develop an Innovative Guide for Urban Food Production and Sustainable Water Management Hof – How can food production, water management, and resource conservation be intelligently combined in urban environments? This question was explored by an interdisciplinary team of students from Hof University of Applied Sciences as part of the project “EcoFloatFarm.” Within just 16 weeks, 13 students developed a practical guide demonstrating how planted floating islands can improve water quality while simultaneously producing food directly on the water.
- The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new robotic assistant. - Robotics researchers from the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) and designers from the Munich Design Institute (MDI) collaborated closely on this project. - The research team presented the new robot to the public on the occasion of a visit to the Garmisch Research Centre by Judith Gerlach, Minister of State for Health, Care and Prevention.
Medical reports written in technical terminology can pose challenges for patients. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has investigated how artificial intelligence can make CT findings easier to understand. In the study, reading time decreased, and patients rated the automatically simplified texts as more comprehensible and more helpful.
For ten days, the International Office at the European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI) of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (THD) held an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP) entitled “AI for Health,” a short-term study program with partner universities on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The event seamlessly transitioned into three days of the “DigiHealthDayS” conference, part of the global forum for health. At the conclusion in the Pfarrkirchen town hall, Bavarian Health Minister Judith Gerlach joined the event.
What makes plants tolerant to nutrient fluctuations? An international research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and involving the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) has investigated this question on the micronutrient boron. The researchers analyzed 185 gene data sets from the model plant Arabidopsis. Their goal is to then be able to transfer the findings to the important crop plant rapeseed.
