HistoryRobotics is one of the key technologies for lean and flexible production in Germany. Taking this development into account, the Robotics Laboratory was set up approximately 25 years ago by Prof. Dr. Lange at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in the old F Building. Since October 2003, the Robotics Laboratory has been led by Prof. Dr. Roos and expanded in the modernized D Building. A training partnership with the KUKA College of the KUKA Roboter GmbH company has been in place since 2005.
Tasks and objectivesThe practical component of education in robotics, production automation and geometry simulation takes place in the Robotics Laboratory. The aim of the practical training in the laboratory is to familiarize the students with modern industrial robots, automation devices and 3D simulation systems and prepare them for their future careers in a practice-oriented manner. Approaches to this include the license for robots and the training to become a robot specialist (Certified Robot Engineer) in cooperation with KUKA Roboter GmbH. Additional tasks of the Robotics Laboratory include working on practical research and industrial projects in the context of project or thesis work.
Laboratory equipment
  • 5 KUKA industrial robots in 5 training cells. One robot cell is designed as mobile training cell
  • 2 Siemens S7 PLCs with multiple STEP 7 workstations
  • 1 optical robot measuring system
  • 14 Robcad licenses, 14 Plant Simulation licenses, 14 Process Designer or Process Simulate licenses, 1 ABB Robot Studio floating license, 2 KUKA.SIM Pro licenses, 7 KUKA.OfficeLite licenses
  • 12 simulation workstations in Room D 1.11a
  • 2 simulation workstations for thesis or project work in Room D 1.09
