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.

Construction through human-machine teamwork

Climate-optimized construction with robots

A straight wall is not necessarily a climate-optimized wall. Depending on the wall’s exposure to sun and shade, there is an ideal angle for individual bricks. The calculations come from a digital design configurator – and in the future, a robot will help craftsmen to position the bricks precisely. In a workshop with apprentice bricklayers, this human-machine cooperation in construction has been tested under real-world conditions by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Munich-Ebersberg Construction Guild.
