Automation Technology and Robotics

Complex automation systems are mechatronic systems with which high-quality products are efficiently manufactured. On the basis of developments in the field of information processing, there are new possibilities for optimizing the systems by networking sensors and actuators and evaluating the information collected in the process. In addition to production technology, robotics are developing new fields of application for the use of robots, for example in the area of ​​service robotics, for which highly qualified graduates are required. Through the course, the students acquire a deep understanding of the mechatronic relationships of the components in automation technology. Graduates are able to select appropriate sensor systems and integrate them into an overall system in the area of ​​production automation, as well as evaluate the data obtained to optimize the system. The mastery of the necessary simulation tools is just as much a part of the course as the dynamic design of multibody systems.
