relAI warmly welcomes TUM Professor Alexander König to our school. Prof. König is the Interim Head of the Chair of Robotics and System Intelligence and the Scientific Lead of Project Geriatronics at the Technical University of Munich.
His work sits at the intersection of medicine & healthcare and robotics & interacting systems, directly addressing the central themes of our program: Safety, Security, Privacy, and Responsibility. He follows two main research directions: i. Translating AI-controlled robotic technology from laboratory to patient, to investigate the real-world effects of AI and robotics on healthcare and caregiving. ii. Using AI and robotics to understand how aging affects cognitive abilities and motor control in the elderly, with the aim of optimizing quality of life through technology.
He will contribute to relAI through lectures and workshops on medical technology and robotics, teaching young scientists the path toward real-world application of their ideas with patients. Additionally, his insights on conducting user studies, navigating CE certification processes, and developing commercialization strategies through startups will further enrich research at relAI.
