Als Teil des EU-weiten Projekts SOMA gelang es Mitarbeitern des Instituts für Robotik und Mechatronik, wesentliche Fortschritte in der feinfühligen Greiffähigkeit von Robotern zu erzielen.
Künftig sollen Ärzte, Chirurgen, Pflege- und Rehabilitationspersonal noch stärker entlastet werden. Unternehmen aus Medizin und Gesundheits-wesen bietet dazu das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) mit seiner langjährigen Expertise wertvolle Unterstützung.
Ein engerer Austausch, schnellere Wege und gegenseitige Unterstützung - das sind die Ziele, die mit dem Digital Innovation Hub Healthcare Robotics (DIH-HERO) erreicht werden sollen.
For his running robotics project M-Runners, Prof. Dr. Ing. Alin Albu-Schäffer, head of the institute, was able to win one of the European Commission's most renowned science project sponsorships on 28 March 2019.
With the Helmholtz Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Unit (HAICU), the Helmholtz Association is building a forward-looking network for applied artificial intelligence (AI).
In cooperation with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria (IHK), the event "Forschung zum Frühstück" took place on 9 April 2019 at the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics.
Head of the Institute: Prof. Dr. Alin Albu-Schäffer
The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics develops a wide array of robots to enable humans to interact more safely and efficiently with their surrounding environments. The robots are designed to act in surroundings inaccessible or dangerous to humans as well as to support humans in everyday life and work.
Our robots mimic and extend upon the manipulation and locomotion capabilities of humans on a functional level. In a more general sense, they perform any tasks of locomotion and interaction with the environment with a wide range of autonomy to suit different tasks. As a key aspect for the usability of robots, we address the interfaces to humans through multimodal human-robot interaction.
