Since 2008, in cooperation with the Heidelberg Life Science Lab, the Robotics academy has been held every year at Control Systems Group.

In this project, middle and upper school students, who are interested and gifted in math, science and technology, are invited to develop robots based on their own ideas. Thus, the students deal with questions of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science.

Every year there is a course consisting of three preparatory meetings and a project week at the TU Kaiserslautern. In addition, the students meet in between to work on individual topics and prepare them for joint meetings.
