Robotics and Human Machine Interaction
Professorship

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrike Thomas

Our mission is to bring robots into many applications so that people will receive useful support from robots. The applications range from automatic assembly to service robotics and medical robotics. It is important that technical systems are handled intuitively and efficiently by humans. Therefore, we deal with human-technology interaction, among other things. This poses a great challenge, in particular with complex technical systems such as a robot. You can find further information under the headline Research.
