Next Wednesday, May 4, we welcome Prof. Manfred Zollner as the first speaker of this year's lecture series "AM Seminar". His lecture on "Physics of the Electric Guitar: Magnetic Pickups" (held in German) will take place from 11:00 to 12:30 in seminar room MW1134 and all interested parties are… [read more]

Starting in SS 2022 we offer a new project seminar for bachelor students: ExoskeleTUM. The seminar is about developing a new exoskeleton to remobilize fully paraplegic patients. In an interdisciplinary team of biomechanics (Chair of Applied Mechanics) and ergonomics (Chair of Ergonomics) we cover a… [read more]

Our contribution "Functional Analysis of the Swing Leg Catapult in Human Walking", which has been presented by Alexandra Buchmann within the scope of the EcoWalk project at this year's IFTOMM-DACH conference won the silver audience award. Congratulations! [read more]

Within the scope of the DFG funded project "MultiKon" we accomplished great achievements. The main objective was to teach our humanoid robot LOLA how to use explicit hand support during walking. For this, the environment of the robot and thus potential contact areas should be autonomously perceived… [read more]

This DFG project (German Research Foundation, project number 450801414) deals with method development for RTHS. The main focus is on RTHS tests where engineering applications with contact are investigated. The first goal is to expand existing control methods such that stable and accurate testing of… [read more]

The upgrade of our humanoid robot LOLA for the multi-contact use-case (DFG project 407378162) is mainly complete. In a video we show the main changes and a first analysis. [read more]

Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the EcoWalk project will investigate the mechanical function of the human leg in walking focusing on the muscle extensor chain. Principle investigators are Dr. Daniel Renjewski and Dr. Alexander Badri-Spröwitz of the "Dynamic Locomotion Group" at the… [read more]
