Human Conversations with a Robotic Head
Although Furhat the social robot does not actually wear a fur hat, it has the ability to hold a conversation that appears quite natural in terms of language, facial expressions and gestures. This makes it exciting for research. Read more

‘Truly autonomous systems won't be around any time soon’
Gerald Steinbauer-Wagner has been researching robots for almost 25 years and they are now able to solve complicated tasks. However, they are not autonomous, says the researcher, as they are still unable to actually understand their environment. Read more

New Method for Analysing Nanoporous Materials
Using only a single electron microscope image, researchers at TU Graz can determine the type and exact position of so-called guest atoms in high-tech materials. They also come closer to solving the mystery of the blue colour of aquamarine. Read more
The great challenges of our time, such as digitalisation, sustainability or pandemics can hardly be solved by individual researchers working on their own, but require critical masses and interdisciplinary cooperation. The Fields of Expertise of TU Graz are the ideal platform for this – researchers collaborate in an interdisciplinary way and are supported by funding.
Lead Projects at TU Graz
Since 2015, TU Graz has awarded special funding for multidisciplinary lead projects. By supporting such basic research projects, outstanding areas of top research are further developed and the research profile of TU Graz is enhanced.
Current lead projects at TU Graz
- NExT - Non Exhaust Emission Topics
- DigiBioTech
- Mechanics, Modeling and Simulation of Aortic Dissection
- Porous Materials @ Work
