To celebrate the launch of its Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MSRM), the Technical University of Munich (TUM) hosted a high-caliber robotics congress with international guests and a big opening ceremony at the Pinakothek der Moderne. Alongside the researchers and politicians in attendance, the spotlight at the event was also on the machines themselves.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

On Friday October 26, to mark the opening of the MSRM in TUM\u2019s big anniversary year, the Rotunda of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich was turned into a \u201crobot lab\u201d. The new integrative research center will bring together the outstanding expertise in robotics, machine intelligence and perception research from TUM\u2019s various departments under one roof \u2013 not only from engineering and natural sciences fields, but also in political and social sciences with the TUM School of Governance and the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS).

At the MSRM, they will cooperate in fundamental research and practical applications for robotics and machine intelligence, always with a focus on people\u2019s needs and the impact of new technologies on society. More than 30 TUM professors will be involved in the MSRM, and further appointments will be made in the coming months to new research chairs in robotics, machine intelligence and machine learning.

International scientists in attendance at the Pinakothek der Moderne event
Many outstanding international robotics experts accepted the invitation to attend the colloquium in Munich marking the opening of the MSRM. Among the prominent scientists sharing their visions of the future and latest research were Prof. Oussama Khatib, often described as the father of modern robotics, and Prof. Masayuki Inaba, one of Japan\u2019s top experts in the field. Several exhibits presented the results of robotics and AI projects at TUM.

Representatives of the Bavarian cabinet included Dr. Marion Kiechle, the science minister, and Georg Eisenreich, the minister of digitalization, as well as the Bavarian minister for economic affairs, Franz Josef Pschierer, who said: \u201cResearch institutions like the MSRM help to maintain Bavaria\u2019s status as a location for top-flight innovation and research and its economic strength. Robotics and machine intelligence are important fields for the future where we have to demonstrate our competitiveness. Consequently, the Bavarian state government has made them a focal point of its research and development policies and funding. At all times, the focus is on beneficial effects on the working world and people\u2019s everyday lives.\u201d
Dr. Marion Kiechle, the minister of science, said, \u201cWith the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence, we have reached a new milestone at the Technical University of Munich and are establishing a solid platform for our new AI competency network.\u201d Commenting on the MSRM concept, TUM president Prof. Wolfgang A. Herrmann said: \u201cThe institute ideally embodies the TUM philosophy: Interdisciplinary cooperation at the interface of the various scientific cultures, from engineering to philosophy.\u201d

An intercity robotics experiment
The highlight of the evening was the world premi\u00e8re of an intercity demonstration linking robotics and networked machine learning. In a \u201crobot classroom\u201d in the foyer of the Pinakothek, 12 robotic arms tackled the task of learning how to use keys to open locks. The result: entirely new learning algorithms and networking via a super-fast mobile telephone link provided by Vodafone. The distributed robots became a team, with the ability to share their individual learning experiences instantly. And not only in the Pinakothek: Other \u201cclassrooms\u201d in the MSRM building and the Vodafone 5G Lab in D\u00fcsseldorf were linked to the robots in the Pinakothek via mobile phone and video screens. Together they solved the problem for more than 30 locks within just a few minutes.
Explaining the experiment, MSRM director Sami Haddadin says: \u201cIt\u2019s not about humanizing robots. The goal is for robots to become intelligent tools for people. Through collective artificial intelligence they can quickly adapt to new tasks \u2013 whether that\u2019s in the factories of the future or as service robots in the household.\u201d Haddadin, a winner of the German President\u2019s Award for Innovation in Science and Technology, who \u2013 along with Wolfgang Ecker, an honorary professor at TUM \u2013 is a member of the Bundestag Study Commission on Artificial Intelligence, sees many potential application areas for intelligent machines. At the MSRM, for example, the Lighthouse Project on Geriatronics will study how robots can help older people to continue living in their own homes for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
