AM @ 2nd German Robotics Conference

Last week, about half of our team from the Chair of Applied Mechanics attended the 2nd German Robotics Conference.

We had a great opportunity to showcase some of our current research and hardware developments. Our humanoid robot LOLA, although no longer the newest platform, still sparked a lot of excitement and led to meaningful discussions about robotic hardware developed in German research institutes.

We also presented one of our latest developments: a direct-drive axial flux motor for legged locomotion. If this is relevant to your work, feel free to reach out to Tomas Slimak.

In addition, Philipp Radecker and our recently graduated bachelor student Florian Schroeders presented a tendon-driven differential hip intended for the humanoid robot Forrest - an avian-like biped developed by Florian together with the students of ROBOTUM.

Finally, Arian Kist presented a method based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to derive measures for classifying how human-like a robot walks.

It was a fantastic conference, and we would like to thank Robotics Institute Germany for the excellent organization and for bringing together so many bright minds in robotics.
