TUM spin-off MSAID

Using artificial intelligence to track proteins

Faster, better, and ideally tailored to each individual: the medicine of the future aims to deliver precise diagnoses and treatment plans. The interaction of proteins plays a key role in this. To understand this interplay, large, high-quality datasets must be analyzed as efficiently as possible. MSAID, a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed AI-powered software that can do this even for complex samples.

Text-to-image generators reproduce and magnify role stereotypes

Strength of gender biases in AI images varies across languages

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Darmstadt have studied how text-to-image generators deal with gender stereotypes in various languages. The results show that the models not only reflect gender biases, but also amplify them. The direction and strength of the distortion depends on the language in question.

Eye surgery for age-related macular degeneration

New robot delivers ultra-precision injections with rapid setup times

Many surgeons even admit that medical robots can now operate with greater precision than human specialists. However, the complex preparation required for robotic surgery still takes far too long. But a new robotic assistant for eye surgery for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) developed by Prof. Mohammad Ali Nasseri from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is ready to go in just under five minutes.

Operation performed in Europe for the first time

Brain-computer interface for a patient with quadriplegia

A team at the Technical University of Munich’s TUM University Hospital has implanted a brain-computer interface in a patient paralyzed from the neck down. The five-hour procedure was the first of its kind performed in Europe. The device enables research that could one day help restore independence and improve quality of life for patients. In particular, the scientists hope to enable the 25-year-old patient to control his smartphone and a robotic arm using only his thoughts.

OneTutor startup supports students with AI-powered chat and quizzes

Successful study with AI

Asking for clarification during lectures and getting precise answers within seconds or being quizzed on the material on the go with questions tailored to individual needs: this is made possible by the startup OneTutor, established at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The digital study tool is already being used at 30 universities. In a pilot phase, students made intensive use of OneTutor and achieved better exam results than their fellow students who did not use the system.

TUM presents powerful diving robot equipped with gripper

Autonomous underwater waste collection soon to be a reality

Marine litter is a major environmental problem around the world. As part of the EU project SEACLEAR 2.0, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now developed an autonomous diving robot that can detect and retrieve litter. It uses an AI system to analyze objects with ultrasound and cameras, picks them up and brings them to the surface. The autonomous underwater waste collection system demonstrated its capabilities for the first time in the port of Marseille in France.

IAA Roundtable: MCube launches initiative for autonomous mobility

Model regions for autonomous driving in public transport and freight transport decided

On the initiative of the research community, Germany's transport industry and politicians are committed to promoting autonomous driving in public transport and freight transport. MCube, the “Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions” led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Digital Hub Mobility of UnternehmerTUM, and the “Mobile Future Munich” (MZM) alliance have jointly executed a letter of intent to this effect.

Autonomous ultrasound systems

Avatar’s presence inspires trust

Patients have more confidence in autonomous robotic ultrasound systems when an avatar guides them through the process. This was discovered by Prof. Nassir Navab from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The virtual agent explains what it is doing, answers questions and can speak any language. Such systems are intended especially for use in regions where there is a shortage of doctors.

Six ERC Starting Grants for researchers at TUM

Why do some neurons fall silent in Alzheimer’s disease? How can particle simulations be accelerated? How much CO₂ can trees store during droughts? These are some of the questions being addressed by six research projects at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), which will now receive support from the prestigious ERC Starting Grants awarded by the European Research Council.
