Institute for Hadronic Structure and Fundamental Symmetries,
Department of Physics,
Technical University of Munich

The Institute for Hadronic Structure and Fundamental Symmetries of the Technical University of Munich is active in many research topics. It is involved in building up an ultra-cold neutron source at FRM II which will be used to measure the lifetime of neutrons with PENeLOPE and investigate the structure of the weak interaction of its decay with PERC. The institute investigates the two-body decay of the neutron with the BOB experiment at MLL. Furthermore, the institute is involved in COMPASS at CERN. With BELLE it searches for CP violation in heavy meson decays. Therefore, the institute also constructs a new very fast pixel sensor system for the new KEKB B-factory (Belle II).

Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Mechanik (AM)
Fakultät für Maschinenwesen
Technische Universität München

The Institute of Applied Mechanics is located in the Mechatronics-Department as a part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Covering the fundamentals of Technical Mechanics and Dynamics, the AM research activities lead from numerical methods to mechatronics and robotics. The results of modelling and simulation are supported by experimental validation, the investigation of the dynamical behavior of mechatronic parts result in highly adapted test benches. An outstanding example of hardware built at the AM is the humanoid robot "LOLA" which was first introduced at the Hannover Fair in 2010.

Lehrstuhl für Automatisierung und Informationssysteme (AIS),
Fakultät für Maschinenwesen,
Technische Universität München

The Institute of Automation and Information Systems (AIS) is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität München (TUM), which is one of the leading technical universities in Europe and was awarded “Elite University” in the German Excellence Initiative. The Institute was assumed by Professor Vogel-Heuser in July 2009. AIS is formed by an interdisciplinary research group consisting of mechanical and electrical engineers, computer scientists and psychologists working on the improvement of the whole life cycle for the engineering in product and production automation. Research is focused on the modeling of distributed embedded systems in automation and control regarding dependability and usability, Human Machine Interaction in process engineering and operation.

Lehrstuhl für Produktentwicklung und Leichtbau,
TUM School of Engineering and Design,
Fakultät für Informatik,
Technische Universität München (TUM)

The research and teaching practiced at the Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design is about engineering design, i.e., the creation of concrete solutions to specific problems. Design problems where the solution and its elements are entirely unknown are particularly interesting for us. These can be solved applying a so-called top-down approach, where the focus is on the desired features of the new product rather than on already existing solutions or their elements. The lab covers a large span of different quantitative and qualitative methods ranging, for example, from new numerical optimization techniques from lightweight design to Design Structure Matrices from product development. Application fields for the core research include but are not limited to: Robotics, Automotive Engineering, and new products.
