Interaction of exoskeleton and electrical stimulation

Regaining mobility quickly after a stroke

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a system that helps patients learn to move their paralyzed arms and hands quickly after a stroke.

Autonomous vehicle thinks for itself

Robot Jack moves like a human

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a wheeled robot that makes its way through a crowd of people safely and without hesitation. A computer on board predicts the movement of people in the vicinity and how they are likely to react to the robot. From this, it calculates the fastest route. Similar algorithms could also be used for humanoid robots or autonomous driving to enable safe interaction between robots and humans.
