Humans, Exoskeletons and Collaborative Robots Working Together

How Robots Become Coworkers

More and more robots are assisting workers in factories. However, human-robot collaboration is still far from seamless. Researchers from Prof. Lorenzo Masia’s team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a solution that enables a factory worker wearing an exoskeleton to work closely and, above all, safely, with a robotic arm. This reduces the physical strain on workers and improves production processes.

EU funding for research in astrophysics and cancer immunotherapy

ERC Advanced Grants awarded to Prof. Suyu and Prof. Saur

How can we observe the earliest stages of supernovae? How can we prevent aggressive pancreatic tumors from suppressing the immune system? Two projects at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), funded by the European Research Council (ERC) with Advanced Grants, will address these questions. This brings the total number of ERC grants at TUM to 265.

CellTrap Visualizes Individual Cell Contacts

Lab-on-a-Chip Platform Shows How Immune Cells Attack Cancer Cells

Immunotherapies are a promising approach in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a lab-on-a-chip system called CellTrap. It makes it possible to observe the interactions between immune cells and cancer cells at the single-cell level. The method is intended to help better understand fundamental processes in cancer immunology and answer key questions.
