The specialization area "Robotics (non-industrial)" is the ideal choice for anyone whose vision of robotics is more than just orange robotic arms on factory floors. Spanning a wide range of modern robotic systems, from soft-material robots to mobile platforms and bio-inspired walking machines, the specialization offers a broad, forward-looking perspective on robotics. Taught entirely in English, the lectures equip students with essential methodological foundations while offering deep insights into cutting-edge technologies and emerging applications. The curriculum is closely aligned with the current state of research and prepares students to shape the future of robotics.
The specialization area is currently offered in the study programs Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, and Engineering Cybernetics. Course offerings are nearly the same across all programs, though each has slightly different requirements:
- Mechanical Engineering: Students must take at least one core-subject as well as the practical lab course.
- Mechatronics: Students are required to take at least one core-subject.
- Engineering Cybernetics: In both the large and small specialization area, at least one core-subject is mandatory.
