TU Darmstadt stands for excellent and relevant science. We are playing a decisive role in shaping far-reaching processes of global change—from energy transition to artificial intelligence—through outstanding scientific knowledge and innovative academic programmes. We group our cutting-edge research into three fields: Energy and Environment, Information and Intelligence, Matter and Materials. We are a university with strong ties to the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region and a very strong international focus. We are committed to European values and European integration.
Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems (RCPS) is a new research group founded by Prof. Roderich Gross at the Department of Computer Science. It conducts foundational research into information processing of distributed robotics systems. The components of these systems can be loosely coupled, as in robot swarms. But they can also be tightly coupled, as in shape-changing modular robots. We seek to invent new concepts and methods for crafting, deploying and analyzing robots at scale, and study how they can best support humans. Natural systems (e.g. colonies of social insects and groups of mammals) may serve as models, offering high autonomy, adaptability, and resilience. By transferring these attributes to robotic systems, we expect to increase their acceptance and usefulness, and contribute to responsible innovations that help fulfil societal needs. By testing novel theories, we also seek to deepen the understanding of natural systems.
You will join an outstanding research environment. The Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt regularly ranks among the top German universities. The RCPS group is part of the Robotics Institute Germany and emergenCITY: Emergency Responsive Digital Cities and works in close cooperation with the Natural Robotics Lab at the University of Sheffield, as well as other international research groups.
