We are proud to have hosted a robotics competition as part of the robotics club at the chair. Groups of students were given identical motors and batteries as well as access to various tools and 3D printing capabilities. The goal? Cross the finish-line using a legged robot as fast as possible, while… [read more]

Considering flexible bodies in engineering analysis is crucial to achieve lighter, smarter, and therefore more efficient designs. The bottleneck in doing so is often computational efficiency, especially for control and/or optimization purposes. Recursive formulations are usually computationally more… [read more]

In WS22/23 we will again offer our interdisciplinary project seminar ExoskeleTUM. This seminar deals with the development of a fully actuated lower-limb exoskeleton to allow paraplegic patients to walk again. To reach this challenging goal, a wide variety of topics from joint design and control,… [read more]

Please check out our latest article titled "Path Quality Improvement of Sampling-Based Planners: An Efficient Optimization-Based Approach Using Analytical Gradients", where we propose two approaches based on nonlinear optimization to post-process computed paths for collision-free robot motions with… [read more]
