Innovative robot demonstrator as a result of creative teamwork

Five ITIV students (Marius Higler, Tobias Göttliche, Stefan Streich, Timo Cordes and Philip Hertel) have developed an innovative robot demonstrator as part of their bachelor's thesis. The basis was the open source Turtle Robot, whose mechanics, electronics and software were extensively revised and expanded. The project was supervised by Ann-Therese Nägele, a doctoral student in Prof. Eric Sax's team.

The result is a handy robot that brings technology to life and offers prospective students in particular a practical insight into the world of electrical engineering and robotics. The project impressively demonstrates how creative teamwork and technical know-how can lead to tangible solutions - and how practice-oriented studying at KIT is.

An inspiring example of applied teaching that not only arouses enthusiasm for STEM subjects, but also underlines the innovative strength of our students.
