Climate change is creating new ecosystems worldwide

“We need to redefine our conservation goals”

Climate change is reshaping which plants and animals live together in ecosystems around the world: some species communities are breaking apart, while new ones are forming. A new study from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows that these changes also have important implications for conservation and ecological restoration. The researchers argue that it is time to rethink existing goals and take a more deliberate approach to managing nature in transition.

Attacks on cameras and sensors

Protecting autonomous vehicles against cyberattacks

Driver-assistance systems are now installed in nearly all modern cars. As a result, safety depends on whether computer systems can reliably process sensor data. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are therefore investigating how these systems can be specifically manipulated - with the goal of better protecting vehicles from such attacks in the future. Even a film discreetly placed over the sensors can cause serious accidents.

Robotics start-up offers a simple solution for industrial manufacturing

RobCo is TUM’s 24th unicorn

The Munich-based robotics start-up RobCo is the latest unicorn to emerge from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Founded six years ago by three former robotics students from the TUM Chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Real-Time Systems, the company focuses on AI-powered automation solutions for industrial manufacturing. It is now the 24th unicorn to emerge from TUM’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Center for Organoid Systems (COS)

TUM opens new center for mini-organs

A new, innovative biotechnology research center has opened on the Garching campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM): The Center for Organoid Systems (COS) significantly strengthens the Munich Institute for Biomedical Engineering (MIBE). The organoids studied there reproduce organ functions with a high degree of accuracy. They provide new insights into the human body and lay the groundwork for new therapies for common diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
