Robots for LESSMAT project

On Friday, 9th September, Jan Kubiczek and Carl Rupp accepted the robots ordered for the LESSMAT project at DanRobotics. During the so-called FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) the general functions of the system were tested. The focus here was on the functionality of the gripping device of the handling robot as well as the adaptive seam tracking of the welding robot. A geometric inspection of the weld seam is provided by the camera integrated in the system.

In the LESSMAT project, structures are optimized in terms of their weight. Automated manufacturing techniques are to be investigated with the aid of the robots.

Forscher*in für einen Tag – Ferientag im DLR_School_Lab an der TUHH

Am 17.08.2022 wurde im DLR_School_Lab an der TUHH ein Ferientag für Kinder angeboten. In einer kleinen Vorlesung erklärte Prof. Sören Ehlers (wissenschaftlicher Leiter des DLR_School_Labs) mit eindrucksvollen Beispielen den interessierten Kindern die Relevanz von energieeffizienten und sicheren Schiffen. Anschließend konnten die Kinder in kleinen Gruppen spannende Versuche im Windkanal und im Wasserbecken des Schülerlabors durchführen, den großen Forschern im Labor des Instituts für Konstruktion und Festigkeit von Schiffen über die Schulter schauen und im Flugsimulator des DLR_School_Labs über Hamburg fliegen.
