Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk “Teaching Machines to Craft 3D“ by Prof. Angela Dai
Events, WCT |

On 30 April 2025, Prof. Angela Dai (3D Artificial Intelligence, TUM) will talk about “Teaching Machines to Craft 3D”.
Abstract: How can AI learn to create 3D objects - and even ones that move? In this talk, we explore how generative learning is transforming 3D content creation. We begin generating 3D meshes from data, learning to model the shape and structure of static objects. We will then explore the motion of 3D objects through generating articulations and movement. This has various applications towards 3D generation in animation, robotics, and virtual environments.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
