Specific nerves may be stimulated artificially, for example to treat pain. The finer the nerves, the more difficult it is to attach the required electrodes. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and NTT Research have now developed flexible electrodes produced with 4D printing technology. On contact with moisture, they automatically fold and wrap themselves around thin nerves.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) works for stronger research, continuing education and spin-offs relating to education technologies. At the new TUM Center for Educational Technologies interdisciplinary research teams will investigate the effectiveness of digital tools for learning and teaching and will develop new applications. The center will put this into practice using continuing education programs and by supporting start-ups.
- Bringing macro technologies to the nano-scale world - AI to play a key role - Top scientists from the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) in leadership positions The Scientific Council has approved the construction of a new research building at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The TUM Center for Embodied Laboratory Intelligence (TUM ELI) will receive 51 million euros in funding starting in 2024. The research facility is scheduled to go into operation in 2028.
At this year’s automatica trade show, the munich_i high-tech platform will highlight robotics and AI developments for the third time. More than 30 demos will be on display in the AI.Society exhibition. The i_Space stage program will include the award presentation for this year’s winner of the Robothon competition for young researchers as well as round table discussions and featured speakers. The High-tech Summit will also bring together some of the world’s leading researchers in robotics and AI.
- The AI requirements of classical robotics are more complex than language. - In environments where safety is a concern, regulation is important. - TUM ethics professor Alena Buyx: societies have the right to actively shape the use and regulation of technologies. - Prof. Klaus Diepold has doubts about the intelligence of ChatGPT. ChatGPT can make programming more efficient, write texts, act as a brainstorming partner or create design proposals. But when it comes to the deployment of generative artificial intelligence in the physical world of robotics, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are cautious.
- Recalculation includes gas leakages and incomplete combustion. - Electricity can be the climate-friendlier choice for cooking and heating. - Study of 25 countries shows: the share of renewable energies in the overall power generation mix makes the difference. Heating and cooking with natural gas often has a greater impact on the climate than commonly believed. This is a conclusion of a new, more realistic calculation model developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The difference: the researchers’ model also takes into account the enormous quantities of unused gas released into the atmosphere.
A robot can be as small as a pill or as big as a (self-driving) car. It can look like a person or fly like a drone. “A robot,” says Angela Schoellig, Humboldt Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), “is the continuation of what humans have been doing since the Stone Age: developing tools to perform tasks faster and better.” At TUM, many researchers at the global forefront of their fields are addressing a wide range of challenges in robotics.
People are able to perceive their surroundings in three dimensions and can quickly spot potential danger in everyday situations. Drones have to learn this. Prof. Stefan Leutenegger refers to the intelligence needed for this task as ‘spatial artificial intelligence’, or spatial AI. This new approach will be used by cartographers mapping forests, in ship inspections and when building walls.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is among the best universities in the world for preparing students for the digital economy. In the latest edition of the Digital Leaders in Higher Education rankings, it placed 11th overall. In the management studies category, TUM holds the number one position worldwide. It ranks third for entrepreneurship programs and fourth in computer science.
The TUM Think Tank is setting up a task force to provide orientation and guidance on handling generative artificial intelligence to the policy, administration, community and business sectors. The group, representing various disciplines at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), will formulate regulatory proposals and will facilitate exchange on practical questions.
