Study examines data from over 1,500 people affected by rare diseases

34 new genetic diseases identified

Supported by artificial intelligence (AI), a research consortium has elucidated the genetic backgrounds of numerous rare diseases. The genetic causes of these diseases were successfully identified in nearly 500 patients. Remarkably, 34 previously unknown diseases were discovered.

Diagnostic capabilities of large language models tested

Are AI-chatbots suitable for hospitals?

Large language models may pass medical exams with flying colors but using them for diagnoses would currently be grossly negligent. Medical chatbots make hasty diagnoses, do not adhere to guidelines, and would put patients' lives at risk. This is the conclusion reached by a team from TUM. For the first time, they investigated systematically, whether this form of artificial intelligence (AI) would be suitable for everyday clinical practice. Despite the current shortcomings, the researchers see potential in the technology. They have published a method that can be used to test the reliability of future medical chatbots.

AI to assist students

Chatbot Iris offers individual support

How can a chatbot support students in lectures and with assigned exercises? Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the chatbot Iris, which offers computer science students personalized assistance with programming assignments. A study has now confirmed the chatbot’s success: Iris improves the understanding of programming concepts and represents a valuable complement to human tutors.

Start-up Kinexon enables more precise refereeing decisions

High-tech sensors for the European Championship ball

Kinexon, a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has equipped the European Championship soccer balls with high-precision sensors. The technology helps referees make difficult decisions. Kinexon specializes in the analysis and control of moving objects – whether in sport or in production. The technology is also used to analyze and automate the processes of entire factories.

New, more precise 3D reconstructions for autonomous driving and preservation of cultural artefacts

From two images to a 3D object

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have succeeded in generating precise 3D reconstructions of objects using images from only two camera perspectives. Their method works even with images captured in their natural surroundings. Previously, such reconstructions were possible only with hundreds of perspectives or under laboratory conditions. Camera-based reconstructions are used in autonomous driving or when preserving historical monuments.

Ministry of Education and Research funds top robotics consortium in Germany

Robotics Institute Germany established

The Robotics Institute Germany (RIG), jointly established by Germany’s leading robotics centers, is to become the central contact point for robotics in Germany. At the "AI-based Robotics 2024" conference in Berlin, Prof Angela Schoellig from the consortium leader, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and RIG spokesperson Prof Tamim Asfour from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) presented the RIG concept for AI-based robotics. The project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the next four years, will start on July 1, 2024.
