At THI, guest professor Alessandro Zimmer is strengthening collaborations between Bavaria and Latin America, driving research in AI and mobility engineering across the globe.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a simulation tool to create detailed models of everything from traffic junctions to entire cities to answer various mobility questions.
How can automated driving in severe weather be made more safe? Doctoral candidate Mohamed Mofeed Chaar is using machine learning to achieve the vision of accident-free road traffic.
In collaboration with business partners, researchers are developing ways to improve mobility in rural regions and expand e-vehicle charging infrastructure.
No other technology has changed our society and working environment as rapidly as Artificial Intelligence. In manufacturing and logistics, in particular, intelligent control and assistance systems can provide key competitive advantages.
The start-up Qkera has developed new electrolyte components for solid state batteries. With high energy density, great stability and low production costs, the goal of the TUM spin-off is to achieve a breakthrough of this battery technology in electromobility and other areas. At the Falling Walls Science Summit, Qkera was selected as one of the 25 best science start-ups worldwide.
Small satellites that find and collect space debris: Mohamed Khalil Ben-Larbi is working towards this goal. He is the new Professor of Space Informatics and Satellite Systems at the University of Würzburg.
Science Minister Markus Blume announces the funding of ten young scientists at five Bavarian universities of applied sciences. Among them is Dr. Gerald Joy Sequeira. He is researching AI and vehicle safety at the THI.
To date, there are no uniform standards for research into solid-state batteries, which are also to be used in e-mobility in the long term - even though billions are being invested in this area worldwide. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have identified the reasons for this and report on them in the journal “Nature Energy”.
With partners from industry and research institutions, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is to make battery-powered trucks viable for long-distance cargo transport. Megawatt charging represents an important step towards this goal. The first prototypes were presented to the public on Friday at an event on the Plattling Technology Campus with the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger in attendance. With the new charging post and truck, it will now be possible for the first time to charge the battery sufficiently for 4.5 hours of operation within the regulatory rest period – with no additional waiting time.
