At the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine a variety of research topics are investigated. The research on the respective topics is mainly driven by a systems and control perspective and aims at improving both the quality of assisstance and the fundamental understanding of physiological control loops.
We focus on:
Parameter and State Estimation: The robust estimation of internal parameters and states of physiological systems is a challenging task. This is due to uncertainties with respect to the precise mechanisms of the underlying physiological processes as well as due to the large number of different signal sources influencing every measurement of a particular physiological quantity. For most quantities there might not even be a direct way of measurement, especially when invasive methods cannot be applied. Any signal processing or control application dealing with physiological systems must hence rely on the use of sophisticated, robust methods for parameter and state estimation. At IME, we develop such methods-among others-by means of message passing on factor graphs.
Autonomous Systems: Autonomous systems play an increasingly important role in the field of robotics. Their technical potential is expanding rapidly, as ever powerful microprocessors, sensor systems, communication networks and energy storage is becoming available. They also have an enormous practical potential. They take over tedious or hazardous tasks, where they work better and more reliably than humans. For example, autonomous vehicles can improve traffic safety, offer individual transportation for blind or elderly people, or simply free the driver's time. Autonomous medical robots can help with monitoring and treating patients. At IME, our passion is the design of intelligent algorithms for the control of autonomous systems - such as self-learning, predictive, or optimal control. We develop algorithms at the cutting-edge of modern research. However, an important focus point of our work is on providing safety guarantees, an aspect that is particularly relevant for systems like autonomous vehicles or medical robots.
