The ongoing development of KTmfk lectures in line with current technical challenges and the needs of students is an important focus of our work. The fact that this is once again working well is shown by the repeated award for our "Machine Elements II" course, which received excellent evaluations fro...

The latest publication of the KTmfk with the project partners from Hamburg (LaFT) and Karlsruhe (IPEK) was selected as the cover story for the March issue of the journal Applied Sciences. The publication addresses a co-simulation model consisting of a musculoskeletal human model, an exoskeleton mode...

For sampling-based tolerance-cost optimization, a high number of function evaluations is unavoidable, which can lead to long calculation times. To overcome this shortcoming, the latest KTmfk publication presents an innovative strategy that combines metaheuristic optimization and adaptive surrogate m...

Mechatronic systems have become increasingly important in recent years and have become an integral part of our lives today. They are characterised in particular by the combination of the fields of mechanics, electrical engineering and information technology. To date, the development of mechatronic s...

Marc Behringer joined the Digital Engineering department as a research assistant at the beginning of February. Prior to that, he studied in the master's program in mechatronics with a focus on design and embedded systems at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He also wrote his mas...

During this year's design project course (KoPra), the challenge for the students was to develop an autonomous biathlon vehicle that is driven with the help of a microcontroller. The students' vehicles had to complete the biathlon race autonomously, which was complicated by additional obstacles. On ...

What to do in the event of a fire? Reporting a fire and protecting everyone is, of course, an absolute priority. If everyone is safe and there is no major risk to themselves, it is possible to fight the fire independently in the initial phase. In this way, any damage caused can be limited and your o...
