The AI mobility hub "AImotion Bavaria" at the University of Applied Sciences Ingolstadt (THI) has taken over further development of the adaptive mobile manipulator R10-D10. Read on to find out how this AI-enabled, autonomous, and easy-to-program robot learns to optimize production processes in manufacturing.
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.
• Geological formations could store up to 25.2 terawatt hours of hydrogen • Storage facilities are essential for the energy transition Geological formations in southern Bavaria offer a previously underestimated potential for storing large quantities of hydrogen. They could therefore be an alternative to salt caverns in northern Germany and thus contribute to a better geographical distribution of storage capacities. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in cooperation with the Technical University of Leoben (MUL) on behalf of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs.
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.
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.
Hof – The joint research project InMIDoor conducted by Hof University of Applied Sciences, KKT-Norsystec and Roos GmbH has developed an innovative approach to vehicle doors. Instead of installing numerous individual components such as switches, levers and complex electronics, the new interior door panel integrates all control elements into a single, flexible surface. The result is a lightweight, sustainable and intuitive solution.
