In robotics technology, development is rapid. Many disciplines make it challenging and complex. Socially, it is also of great importance! Especially for you as a student, we have therefore started the school-wide thematic route Robotics.

What benefits for you?

For example, Robotic theme route helps you choose your semester projects, and can be a good fill-in for your Semester 5. Because with this flexible education we as HAN connect even better to practice.

For you as a student, this has the advantage that you will be even better prepared. And because you can earn a specially recognised certificate, it will look extra good on your CV! Not only this theme route offers these advantages, but also the successful theme route on hydrogen technology!

What will you learn during the Robotics theme route?

It allows you to specialise in the field of robotisation within your existing educational programme. The fact that the School of Engineering and Automotive offers you this opportunity is super, isn’t it? You can start right away, because as a student you will be intensively coached by expert lectures and researchers.

Do you obtain enough credits and successfully complete the theme route?

Then you will receive the coveted and recognised Robotics Engineer Certificate!

Practical example of welding robots

Corstian van den Dikkerburg studies HAN Mechanical Engineering and programs, among other things, welding robots for RobWelding in Dodewaard. He is mainly concerned with the software that makes such a welding robot do what it is supposed to do.

“The advantage is the constant quality a robot delivers. Disadvantages? Not really. Previously, 30 workers stood in a row welding the same thing. Now the robot does it and staff can do the non-series welding jobs and control the robot. Fun than doing the same job all the time and employers save a lot of money.”

Corstian also conducts training at customer sites, so he can be sure their robots are doing the job properly. “Self-learning robots are not really yet. Probably becomes the future. However, we did write a programme that makes the robot look for deviations of parts to keep the weld in the same place.”
