HARMONIK

The research network Humanoid Robotics and Human-Technology Interaction at the Beuth HS stands for the interdisciplinary investigation of human-centered, self-determined, reliable and information-safe interaction between humans and a new type of humanoid robot assistance system in various fields of application.

Human VR Lab

The HumanVRLab is the development of an interdisciplinary research platform that combines the technical components of virtual reality, motion tracking, artificial intelligence and robotics within a real-time calculation system, fundet by the BMBF.

Robotics, Biorobotics

Biorobotics is a term that loosely covers the fields of robotics, cybernetics, biomimetics and even engineering as a collective study.

Bionik, Biomimetics

Bionik or biomimetics combines biology and technologie with the goal of abstraction, transmission and application of knowledge that are gained through interdisciplinary collaboration of biological models to solve engineering problems (VDI-6220 2011).

Human-Robot Interaction

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the fields of robotic engineering, biophysics, science and technology studies, neurobiology and interaction design has come together in the junior research group MTI-engAge to investigate criteria and possibilities of a successful HRI with a holistic approach.

Evolutionary Optimization

Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are a class of stochastic, metaheuristic optimization and search method which inspired by the basic principles of biological evolution.

Robotics, Biorobotics

  • Artificial Muscle:
    • Jojo with a fluidic muscle from the company Festo as linear actuator
    • Test buildup of an antagonistic muscle actuator
  • Construction of the humanoid robot ZARx (Zwei-Arm-Roboter) also named Humanoid which is a antropomorph robot torso with two arms and two five finger hands completely driven with fluidic muscles in human like proportions, muscle arrangements and functionality
  • Construction of a pneumatic driven elephant's trunk named in German Tripedale Alternanzkaskade (TAK) in the Biona project BROMMI (in German Bionische Rüsselkinematik für Anwendungen in der sicheren Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion)
  • Biological inspired control, data architecture and information processing
