How robots learn to recognize themselves

So-called proprioceptive information graphs help robot arms, six-legged, and humanoid robots to learn about their morphology. In practice, bodily awareness is crucial for manipulation, locomotion, and interaction. The scientist of MIRMI, Fernando Diaz Ledezma, explains how it works.

More transparency in the human-robot interaction

It is essential in nursing care to have a transparent mapping of the entire human-robot interaction. That is the outcome of the interdisciplinary research project Responsible Robotics, which researchers from TUM and the University of Graz completed in 2023. A data recorder helps to capture all events that occur when using a nursing care robot and make them visible and understandable for everyone involved.

Artificial intelligence makes gripping more intuitive

Artificial hands can be operated via app or with sensors placed in the muscles of the forearm. New research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows: a better understanding of muscle activity patterns in the forearm supports a more intuitive and natural control of artificial limbs. This requires a network of 128 sensors and artificial intelligence based techniques.
