Peter N. Robinson is a pioneer in the computer-assisted genome and phenotype analysis of genetic diseases. His major work has been the development of the Human Phenotype Ontology, which is now a standard tool used internationally to diagnose gene-related diseases. At the Charité in Berlin, Robinson is invited to develop algorithms for AI-based precision medicine.

The human gait – which usually looks intuitive and natural – is an extremely complex form of locomotion. When you are walking, you are constantly defying gravity and have to keep fine-tuning your balance. This is precisely why the upright gait is still difficult to replicate technically. Mechanical engineer Heike Vallery studies gait and balance and develops applications in hardware and control technology for the rehabilitation of people with reduced mobility.

In most artificial intelligence (AI) applications, models learn from data that derives from a single information source. Additional data sources or so-called modalities can make AI models better and more reliable. An expert in multimodal learning, Marcus Rohrbach is set to become a Humboldt Professor for Artificial Intelligence in Darmstadt.

Whether you think in terms of autonomous drones, self-driving cars or robots that care for the sick or support older people, machines constantly have to respond to new and unexpected situations. Not all of these situations can be predicted and programmed with the appropriate default response. Machine learning and robots that learn from their experience are the solution.
