Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems Deggendorf Institute of Technology

Overview

Key facts

In the course  Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems at Deggendorf Institute of Technology, solid knowledge regarding significant topics of autonomous robot systems will be acquired. Modern simulation systems, cooperative and autonomous systems, innovative Human Machine Interfaces and additive manufacturing processes are dealt with in four technologically oriented study units. Two interdisciplinary study units allow the treatment of specific application fields of cyber-physical systems as well as the topic of functional safety of software-based control and automation systems.

Learning outcomes

Paramount are assistance-, service- and mobile robots. Within this context, guidelines and standards will be presented – in particular safety aspects of collaborative robots. Further elements of this lecture encompass robot system architectures, localization and mapping as well as navigation and path planning.

In the near future, intelligent, self-controlling, sensor-supported and networked production systems will enable almost self-organized production in the "Smart Factory". In addition to this Industrial Internet of Things (IOT), robots on the other side of the spectrum are even gradually beginning to conquer social areas: Many surgical procedures are already robot-assisted today, and even in the care sector, attempts are being made to make measures technically more effective or to replace missing skilled personnel with robots. The field of automation, digitization and robotics has an enormous Bandwidth, and development is progressing at breath-taking speed.
