Seamless Engineering 2025: students demonstrate their skills in robotics and material flow technology
In 2025, the Seamless Engineering course once again offered students on the MIT Master's degree program the opportunity to acquire practical knowledge of robotics hardware (gripper robots, AGVs) and the associated software tools (Robot Operating System).
In the theoretical part of the lecture, students were introduced to a system-oriented and higher-level approach to the description, evaluation and development of mechatronic systems. A particular focus was placed on the description of intralogistics systems with modular material flow technology.
In the practical part, students were able to apply and deepen the content they had learned on industry-related hardware. They learned about systematic development in a simulation environment and the transition from simulation to real hardware in small teams.
A special highlight was the final presentation of the group results last Tuesday on the test area of the IFL - Institute for Materials Handling and Logistics Systems, KIT. The task was to fulfill a fictitious customer order in which various components had to be picked up in the developed material flow system and transported to a storage box at the end of the material flow, which represented the fictitious customer. This task was successfully completed by all participants.
Prof. Eric Sax's team will continue to coordinate the teaching module next year together with Prof. Kai Furmans' team (IFL).
