"Exploratory Learning" is at the core of the educational project "EnviroBotics," which will be supported with €400,000 over the next two years by the Foundation for Innovation in Higher Education. The idea was developed by a research team led by environmental roboticist Daniel Dücker from the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in cooperation with partner companies have developed a device to provide back muscle training. With the GyroTrainer, back strengthening exercises are adapted to the strength and ability of the individual user. [read more]

In mid-October 2023, partners for the EU-funded research project AUTOASSESS (Autonomous aerial inspection of GNSS-denied and confined critical infrastructures), which received nine million euros in funding, gathered for their kickoff in Copenhagen. Prof. Stefan Leutenegger and his Smart Robotics Lab were there representing the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with a budget of approximately 1.1 million euros. [read more]

With an AI-based coaching for basketball, the team MindHackers won in the 'Technological Excellence' category at this year's Sick Solution Hackathon. Among them was Oliver Hausdörfer, a robotics student from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), who has already won his fifth hackathon. [read more]

Doctoral students can now enroll in the Graduate Program in Robotics and Machine Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Registration for the program created by the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) will be open from October 16, 2023. On October 20, there will be an informational event on the topic at 4:30 PM. [read more]

GloPro is the approach that Simon Schaefer uses to recognize a three-dimensional world with just one camera. To achieve this, the doctoral candidate at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) relies on machine learning. The aspiring scientist presented a corresponding paper on this topic at the Robotics Conference IROS in Detroit. [read more]

When doctoral candidate Moritz Eckhoff from the Chair of Robotics and Systems Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) lets robots move, they already have an image of their surroundings, accurate to the centimeter, in mind. This is how he avoids collisions. [read more]

Researchers at MIRMI together with colleagues from Bosch Corporate Research, Aalto University and Örebro University demonstrated how historical movement data stored as 'Maps of Dynamics-informed Long-term Human Motion Prediction' can be used to predict where people will move with much greater reliability than before. The concept of was introduced at the IROS conference yesterday. [read more]

MIRMI researchers’ contributions to “The Next Generation of Robotics”, the theme of IROS 2023, are broad. At this year's Robotics Forum, 18 MIRMI Principal Investigators and their teams are organizing five workshops and presenting 38 research papers. A comprehensive list of these papers and workshops is available here. [read more]
