Physical Intelligence News 20-06-2023 Schuppentier die Inspiration für Medizinroboter Roboter besteht aus Metall und ist dennoch weich und flexibel Wissenschaftler*innen des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme in Stuttgart haben einen magnetisch gesteuerten Softroboter entwickelt, der wie der Körper eines Schuppentiers einen einzigartigen, flexiblen Körperbau aufweist. Der Roboter ist trotz eingebauter harter Metallelemente frei beweglich. So kann er je nach Magnetfeld bei Bedarf Wärme abgeben und seine Form an die jeweilige Aufgabe anpassen, z.B. Ladung aufnehmen und selektiv freisetzen oder Blutungen stillen. Die Forschungsarbeit wurde am 20. Juni 2023 im Fachjournal Nature Communications veröffentlicht.

Empirical Inference News 27-04-2023 Mit doppeltem Boden: Tiefes neuronales Netz für die Analyse verschmelzender schwarzer Löcher Selbstkontrollierter Algorithmus interpretiert Gravitationswellendaten Ein interdisziplinäres Team des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme und des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gravitationsphysik hat einen Algorithmus entwickelt, der seine eigenen Berechnungen der Eigenschaften verschmelzender schwarzer Löcher umgehend überprüft und sein Resultat gegebenenfalls korrigiert – kostengünstig und zeitnah. Die Machine Learning Methode liefert dabei sehr genaue Informationen über die gemessenen Gravitationswellen und kann eingesetzt werden, wenn das weltweite Netzwerk der Gravitationswellen-Detektoren im Mai die nächste Messkampagne beginnt.

Robotic Materials Physical Intelligence News 25-04-2023 Quallenähnliche Roboter könnten eines Tages die Weltmeere säubern Robotiker des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme in Stuttgart haben einen von Quallen inspirierten Unterwasserroboter entwickelt, mit dem sie eines Tages Abfälle vom Meeresgrund aufsammeln wollen. Der nahezu geräuschlose Prototyp kann Objekte berührungslos unter seinem Körper einfangen und bewegt sich somit störungsfrei in empfindlichen Umgebungen wie zum Beispiel Korallenriffen. Jellyfish-Bot ist ein Hoffnungsträger – Schwärme dieser Roboter könnten eines Tages helfen, die Weltmeere zu säubern Tianlu Wang Hyeong-Joon Joo Shanyuan Song Wenqi Hu Christoph Keplinger Metin Sitti
