The key to smart production
The Robotics Laboratory focuses on the research and development of robots and automated systems for industry. This includes the programming, control and integration of robots in production and automation processes.
Robotics plays a key role in the era of Industry 4.0, which is characterised by the networking of machines and the use of data analysis and artificial intelligence.
The lab offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with these advanced technologies, develop their skills in automation and understand how robots are used in modern industry.
