Darpa Robotics Challenge – Second Place for the Team IHMC Atlas
We congratulate the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) to their success in the DARPA Robotics Challenge 2015. An international team of scientists achieved second place and thus a prize money of one million dollars. This year, our college Igor Kalkov supported the team. Spiegel Online reported about this challenge.
Embedded Software at the Helmholtz Symposium 2015
Our chair participated on this years “Helmholtz-Symposium Aachen on Biomedical Engineering and Related Fields” at the Universitätsklinikum Aachen with current state of research in our projects “ECLA-VENT” and “Sterile Hands”. Focus of the event were biomaterials and personal healthcare to support medical personal by further automation. Our two projects based on embedded systems fit into this area of research – we present a system for extracorporeal lung assistance adapting to the patient’s condition and a system for hygiene management in hospitals.
