News 11-10-2023 Zentrum für Bionic Intelligence Tübingen Stuttgart gegründet Biointelligente Systeme für Diagnose und Therapie im Alltag von neurologischen und psychischen Erkrankungen Mensch und Technik auf fundamental neue Art zu kombinieren – das ist die Vision des neugegründeten Zentrums für Bionic Intelligence Tübingen Stuttgart (BITS). Wissenschaftler*innen der Universität Stuttgart, Universität Tübingen sowie des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme und des Max-Planck-Instituts für biologische Kybernetik forschen an intelligenten bionischen Systemen, die helfen sollen, bestimmte Erkrankungen des Nervensystems besser zu verstehen und zu behandeln. Die Diagnose wird genauer, die Therapie effizienter und der Krankheitsverlauf für Patient*innen erträglicher. Betroffene nutzen bereits heute technische Assistenzsysteme, etwa Orthesen oder Kommunikationshilfen. Diese Systeme können sich jedoch nicht vollständig an die Bedürfnisse der Patient*innen oder Erfordernisse der Umgebung adaptiv selbst anpassen, um Einschränkungen zu kompensieren oder ausgefallene Körperfunktionen wiederherzustellen. In interdisziplinären Projekten entwickeln die BITS-Mitglieder individuell zugeschnittene Hilfsmittel. Katherine J. Kuchenbecker Christoph Keplinger

Learning and Dynamical Systems Embodied Vision Empirical Inference News 06-10-2023 Roboter entdecken die Welt Forschende vermitteln Robotern eine Art Körpergefühl Roboter können den Menschen heute bereits bei manchen alltäglichen Aufgaben unterstützen. Doch unbekannte Umgebungen oder auch kleine Abweichungen in den Aufgaben, auf die sie trainiert sind, überfordern sie. Damit sie rascher lernen, sich auf Neues einzustellen, entwickeln die Forschungsgruppen von Michael Mühlebach und Jörg Stückler am Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme in Tübingen neue Trainingsmethoden für die Maschinen. Ihre Roboter müssen sich dabei auch im Pingpong oder Bodyflying bewähren. Michael Muehlebach Jörg Stückler Dieter Büchler Hao Ma
