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.
Dear students and researchers,
Adna Bliek is organizing a podium discussion on Gender bias in AI on September 7th at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. The panelists of the podium discussion are Anna Leschanowsky, Dr. Kinga Schumacher, and David B. Blumenthal. And Abigail Oppong will give an online impulse t...
We got the news from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation; we will receive support for the implementation of our Interactive Gait Assistance Experience Lab at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
The laboratory will be set up together with Anne Koelewijn, Sigrid Leyendecker, Claud...
Bernhard Egger visited our chair and gave an interesting talk on "Inverse Graphics and Perception with Generative Face Models". It was a good opportunity to broaden our perspective and discuss how we can bring together our research at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and beyond.
Bayerische Forschungsstiftung granted our project on learning predictive maintenance of fleets of networked devices.
The project is carried out in cooperation with the Chair of Multimedia Communication and Signal Processing, Sielaff GmbH & Co. KG Automatenbau Herrieden, and Dallmeier electron...
Philipp Beckerle war at interACTIVE HAPTICS Conference by GREWUS GmbH in Hamburg. Besides contributing a talk on Human Perception of Haptics, he enjoyed great discussions with a lot of haptics experts from industry and academia as well as a rental bike ride across the city on the way back from the c...
