Artificial Intelligence (AI)

At TUM, we are investigating and developing intelligent systems, while keeping an eye on our responsibility for people and society at all times. Find out what's new in the fields of AI, robotics, machine learning and data science.

Artificial Intelligence

AI applications are profoundly changing the world of work, research and everyday life. We are helping to shape this technological progress: in research, in studies and teaching and in the field of entrepreneurship. This includes new methods and applications of AI, subject-specific degree programs, new teaching and learning methods and cooperation with industry.

TUM Talk at the Campus Heilbronn

Confidence for mid-sized businesses

How can companies be confidently advanced despite all crises? Business and academia discussed this question at the fifth TUM Talk. As usual at the TUM Campus Heilbronn, the focus was on strategies for digitalization in medium-sized businesses.

Current research on the new 6G mobile communications standard

Nursing care robots, autonomous driving, digital twins: all of these high-tech applications will play an essential role for the new 6G mobile communications standard. The first commercial 6G networks are expected to be available as of 2030. In the 6G-life and 6G Future Lab Bavaria initiatives, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Dresden are already testing and developing the fundamental mechanisms of the sixth mobile communications generation. One goal is to establish a complete communications system with components supplied exclusively by German start-ups.

Technical University of Munich enters cooperation with the Pfennigparade Foundation

Supporting disabled persons with robotics and AI

Robotics and AI researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will work with physically impaired and disabled people from the Pfennigparade Foundation in the future. Over the next three years, the aim is to develop technologies to make their everyday life easier. The Pfennigparade Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities, has made working space available for the research.

AI4POL project develops tools for more efficient regulation

Artificial intelligence for AI policy

How can Europe efficiently achieve its goals in the regulation of artificial intelligence? And how can the EU itself use AI for this purpose? In the AI4POL project, an international research team will investigate whether EU regulations actually support its citizens. Furthermore, the team will develop AI tools and data science methods with which policymakers and regulators can better evaluate the effects of their legislation as well as potential threats posed by technological developments in non-democratic states.

neuroTUM student club trains for international Cybathlon competition

Controlling computers directly with the brain

How can a connection be created between the human brain and a computer? This is the question studied by the neuroTUM student club, founded at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) a year and a half ago. The aim is to make neurotechnology more accessible to students and to help people with physical disabilities.

More barrier-free software access with AI

In this new issue of NewIn we learn more about Chunyang Chen. He conducts research at the TUM Campus in Heilbronn on how software development can be simplified and automated by artificial intelligence (AI), especially Large Language Models. In this interview he explains how he aims to make software more accessible for people with visual impairments or other disabilities.

Oktoberfest: TUM tests autonomous mobility in Oktoberfest traffic

AI-operated "MCube Wiesn Shuttle" in test operation

The world's biggest folk festival as an ultimate test for artificial intelligence: for the first time, an autonomous vehicle is tackling the particularly heavy traffic around the Munich Oktoberfest. Under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Institute of Automotive Technology, the Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions (MCube) has developed the fully automated "Wiesn Shuttle". The team will test autonomous driving under extreme conditions in a two-day real-world trial on 25 and 26 September.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Uncover Cosmic Secrets

The search for new elementary particles is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN or the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, enormous amounts of data are produced—more data than humans could ever process or analyze.
