Technical University of Munich

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is one of Europe’s top universities. It is committed to excellence in research and teaching, interdisciplinary education and the active promotion of promising young scientists. The university also forges strong links with companies and scientific institutions across the world. It participates in the project through the chair of Robotics and System Intelligence (RSI) which currently consists of more than 30 researchers and is directed by Prof. Sami Haddadin since April 2018. The goal of RSI is to significantly advance the scientific foundations for intelligent machines capable of autonomous acting in our world and in close interaction with their human creators. These machines shall be part of global and heterogeneous networks that enable the use of massive computing power and high-speed communication to increase their capabilities and thus significance and contribution to our society. For this, researchers at RSI bridge the gap between disciplines such as automatic control, robotics, machine learning, and human motor control. Prof. Haddadin and his team contributed in the research domains of physical human-robot interaction, nonlinear robot control, real-time motion planning, real-time task and reflex planning, robot learning, optimal control for elastic systems, human motor control, variable impedance actuation as well as safety in robotics. The chair of Robotics and System Intelligence (RSI) is a part of Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MSRM).
