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.
Last week, we had two seminar talks by two researchers. Mariangela Filosa shared insights about her work while visiting our chair via Erasmus and Alexandra Miller talked about the PhD journey so far, she is visiting us with a Fulbright grant.
They talked about haptics, touch sensing, rehabilitati...
Last week, Joachim Hornegger visited our labs and was one of the first participants in our interactive gait laboratory. Afterward, we introduced him to further parts of our research during a tour around the offices.
The Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Creation (BioMAC) group has officially joined the chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics, starting from February 1st. The BioMAC group is lead by Prof. Dr. Anne Koelewijn and aims to develop methods for accurate analysis and simulation of human motion, wit...
The Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics welcomes Alexander Czellnik.
Alexander Czellnik started working in our mechanical workshop this month and will support our research and teaching activities.
The chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics visited the Erlangen Christmas Market. This time, we enjoyed it with Anne Koelewijn's BioMAC group who will join our Department of Electrical Engineering and the chair in 2024. Also with us, our guest researcher Alex Miller from John Hopkins Universit...
