A myoelectric prosthesis for the hand is the focus of the CyberTUM student team. At the Cybathlon 2024, pilot Adnan Jukic will control it in the Arm Prothesis Race with the help of muscle signals in the forearm. The technical concept was developed by students from the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) as part of a course.

Area cameras reach their limits in foggy, rainy conditions, or at night. Event-based cameras are better suited for these scenarios. Researchers from the Chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Real-Time Systems at the Technical University of Munich have developed a method to fuse the data streams of these different camera systems. Doctoral student Christian Cress explains how it works.
