Robotics Reloaded: From 'James' to 'Bro'
The Robotics Laboratory at Furtwangen University is a state-of-the-art centre for research and teaching in the field of robotics and automation.
Practical projects and theses are carried out in the lab, which deal with the development, programming and optimization of robot systems. Here, students learn how to design, control and use robots for various applications in order to constantly redefine the limits of what is possible.
