Neuro-robotics
The field of neurorobotics encompasses the intersection of computational neuroscience and robotics. The TUM led Neurorobotics subproject of the Human Brain Project is actively researching concepts within the field and developing the tools to allow researchers to fully explore simulated robotics driven by computational neuroscience models. Further, the development of biologically inspired, tendon driven robotics systems provides a unique research platform. These efforts allow researchers to explore the interesting space from computational neuroscience to intelligent robots and back.

Hippocrates Ex Machina
Computers have beaten the best chess and Go players, cars drive autonomously, Google finds answers to almost any question. Yet, we still go to see a human physician and rely on their knowledge. How far have computers, robots and artificial intelligence already entered the world of medicine? A few examples will demonstrate the technological and ethical challenges we need to face.
