TUM develops evaluation system for robot interaction

If autonomous robots are to interact with humans and perform tasks independently, the sensitivity of the robots is crucial. Until now, however, there has been no standardized procedure for determining the sensitivity of individual robots. A TUM evaluation scheme aims to change this.

Seal of approval for robotics

If autonomous robots are to interact with humans and perform tasks independently, the sensitivity of the robots is crucial. So far, however, there is no standardized method for determining this sensitivity and thus the suitability ('fitness') for physical interactions of individual robots. A TUM evaluation scheme aims to change this.

Modern AI-based robotics
