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.
Two conference talks by staff and students of the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Matthias Voß presented on "A virtual reality experimental setup to explore volitional control in lower limb prostheses" at the 58th Annual Conference of the German Society for ...
We had intensive research discussions with the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics. We went in-depth into Mechatronics, Robotics, Human Robot Interaction, User Experience, and many other topics.
We also enjoyed Fränkische Schweiz staying at Pfister, Weigelshofen, during a hike, and trave...
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...
