Excellence cluster CoTeSys - Cognition for Technical Systems
In the "Cognition for Technical Systems" (CoTeSys) cluster of excellence, scientists from various disciplines conduct basic research into perception-based i.e. cognitive motor control and its realisation through data-processing mechanisms.
This area of research derives from the evolution of the human brain to become specialised in learning and controlling complex sequences of movements and to succeed in adapting the motor control mechanisms to environmental and task-specific demands. It is hoped that these abilities may in future enable the motion-control mechanisms of technical systems to respond much more dependably, flexibly and efficiently, to manage with less detailed programming and to adjust to new challenges of their own accord. This is one of the central research goals of the CoTeSys cluster.
Leading international researchers from TUM, the Munich-based Ludwig Maximilian University and Federal Armed Forces University, the German Aerospace Centre in Oberpfaffenhofen and the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology in Martinsried will be collaborating to implement this target. The researchers making up the interdisciplinary team have been recruited from the fields of cognitive science, information processing and engineering sciences, among others. The cognitive mechanisms for movement control investigated and developed within the cluster are then applied and empirically analysed in different demonstration scenarios using humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles and self-controlling factories.
