TOPIC AND OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAMM

The ability to produce goods meeting people's needs and wishes in an economically efficient way, while preserving natural and environmental resources is essential to the well-being and stability of every society. The fields of manufacturing systems and robotics are at the core of this challenge. This is why this program focuses on them.

Smart autonomous behavior, high dynamics, precision and extreme miniaturization, flexibility and reliability, these are some of the requirements for modern manufacturing and robotic systems. Design, development and management of such systems call for increased integration of multidisciplinary skills and very high scientific competences.

The goals of the program "Manufacturing Systems and Robotics are to provide doctoral students in manufacturing and robotics with the necessary theoretical background through a diverse offering of graduate courses, and to review current research and state of the art in the field. The program and its courses thus serve as a multidisciplinary discussion platform for graduate students providing impetus for their research and stimulating their creativity.
