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.

EU Project InShaPe Boosts Metal Additive Manufacturing

Breakthrough in Efficiency, Affordability and Sustainability

Sixfold increase in productivity, production costs halved, energy consumption and material wastage significantly reduced, component quality improved – the EU-funded research project InShaPe has published impressive numbers. Over the past three years, the consortium has developed a new process optimisation approach that combines AI-based beam shaping with multispectral imaging (MSI) in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) additive manufacturing process. The Professorship of Laser-based Additive Manufacturing at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) coordinated the project, working with ten other partners from eight countries. Funded by the European Union, InShaPe received 7.2 million euros from the Horizon Europe framework programme.

European Research Council funds Proofs of Concepts

Six ERC Grants for TUM researchers

The European Research Council (ERC) supports scientists, who want to develop marketable innovations based on their research results, with Proof of Concept Grants. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where technology transfer plays a particularly important role, have now been awarded six of these grants. Funding will be allocated to projects in the fields of cloud computing, robotics, cancer medicine, drug development and astrophysics.

Classification system for robot fitness

TUM creates seal of approval for robotics

When autonomous robots interact with humans and perform tasks independently, their sensitivity is crucial. This is what makes them safe and flexible. However, there is currently no standardized procedure for determining this sensitivity and thus individual robots’ fitness for physical interactions. Researchers at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed an evaluation scheme that can be used to compare industrial robots and, in the future, other systems such as mobile and humanoid robots or robotic hands.

Remote relief of tension pneumothorax

Robot treats injured people in flight

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to save lives. It relieves injured people with life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity. At the Automatica robotics trade fair, the researchers are presenting the robotic solution for the first time. In the future it will be capable of telemedical operation during evacuation flights. It was developed as part of the iMEDCAP project financed by the European Defense Fund.

Neural Networks benefit from biological data

How artificial intelligence can learn from mice

The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications — from autonomous driving to robotics. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.

Artificial intelligence to support cancer treatment

For people with a cancer diagnosis, understandable and reliable information is crucial – but is often difficult to find. The wording of medical guidelines and advice is often too complex for many patients to understand. At the same time, they are exposed to widespread misinformation online. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the TUM University Hospital have now received funding from Google.org for the AIdvice project, which aims to translate up-to-date, evidence based knowledge into answers that are understandable and adapted to individual needs.
