Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics
Welcome to the website of the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics (ASM)
Autonomous and mechatronic systems are entering our daily lives and get into increasingly right interaction with us. Our mission at ASM is to research human-centered mechatronics and robotics striving for solutions that provide the desired performance along with user-friendly interaction characteristics. We put emphasis on wearable systems such as prostheses or exoskeletons, cognitive systems such as collaborative or humanoid robots, and generally on tasks with close human-robot interaction. Beyond examining mechatronic components and controls, such scenarios crucially demand considering human factors to meet user requirements and achieve synergetic interfacing and interaction of humans and machines.
The Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Creation (BioMAC) group at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites applications for a postdoctoral position with the goal to investigate postural transitions in the evolution from synapsids to mammals using movement simulations. This...
On Thursday, we were wrapping up our joint lecture series #AutonomousSystems: From #Research to #Products, which is a collaboration of Siemens and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Even after four runs, we learn a lot from #StudentEvaluation and strive to improve the format once again. Thanks a lot for the ...
Our Interactive Gait Assistance Experience Lab is taking shape at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg... you might remember the very big parcel on the foto that I posted the week before last week.
It contained a Humotech Caplex system that was meanwhile installed and combined with our Motek Medical B.V. GRAIL....
A week of big deliveries at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg ... Today, we got a compactor from Sielaff GmbH & Co. KG Automatenbau Herrieden.
It is used in bottle returning machines, which we investigate in our project Learning Predictive Maintenance of Fleets of Networked Systems funded by the Bayerisc...
Today, we got a nice delivery that will add new possibilities to our Interactive Gait Assistance Experience Lab at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. On Monday, things will be unpacked, installed, and training will start.
