BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Current research activities in the field of biomedical engineering cover the following topics:
- Modeling, analysis, and control of the human hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis
- Temperature control for retinal laser therapy
- Human motor control and rehabilitation engineering



ROBOTICS
Control theory is one of the central methods required for modern robotics, which therefore represents one of the main control applications at our institute. Current research topics are
- Teleoperation of collaborative robots
- Realtime path planning with guaranteed collision avoidance
