The Chair of Cyber-Physical-Systems
The Chair of Cyber-Physical Systems at the Technical University Leoben, led by Prof. Dr. Elmar Rueckert, conducts research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
Our work focuses on developing foundation models for robotics and exploring robot skill learning, including dexterous and visual–tactile manipulation, reinforcement learning, self-supervised, active / interactive, and intrinsically motivated learning. We are particularly interested in inference and reasoning mechanisms that enable robots to generalize and adapt across complex environments.
Application domains include humanoid robotics and autonomous systems for real-world tasks, industrial production, recycling, and mining, where our goal is to advance safety, efficiency, and sustainability through intelligent, adaptable robotic solutions.
