Siemens is to build a new research center at the high-tech campus run by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Garching. Over 100 Siemens researchers will work alongside TUM scientists, CEO Joe Kaeser announced on Tuesday. The focus of this cooperative initiative will be on robotics/autonomous systems and IT security.
