The Mechatronics Laboratory at Fulda University of Applied Sciences has established itself as an interdisciplinary center for applied research in mechatronics. Fields of application are technical systems with focus on robotic systems (cobots) and wind turbines (bearing technologies).
Collaborative Robotics and Humanoid Robotic Hands: The research group develops novel robotic systems with a focus on adaptive grippers and hands for collaborative robots (cobots). A current project aims to design and prototype a humanoid robotic hand equipped with integrated tactile sensing and compliant actuators to enable intuitive, safe, and ergonomic human-robot interaction. This work is supported by advanced manufacturing technologies (3D printing), AI-based control algorithms, and ergonomic data analysis.
Wind Turbine Systems: The team has initiated a long-term research program on the mechanical simulation,design, and analysis of wind turbine systems, with a particular focus on rolling element bearings as critical components for durability and performance. Finite element analysis (FEA) using ABAQUS is applied to investigate load distributions, stress concentrations, and fatigue behavior under realistic operating conditions. A dedicated wind turbine research demonstrator operates at the Fulda University campus to serve as a physical testbed for validating simulation models and developing condition monitoring strategies.
