    • Angela Schoellig

      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.

    • Heike Vallery

      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.
