Teaching Institutes & Partner

The Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics (IGMR) at RWTH Aachen has existed since 1959.
In teaching and research, the staff of the IGMR deal with the analysis, design and optimisation of a wide variety of motion devices. This variety (e.g. cam gears, crank gears, gear and traction gears as well as their combinations) is presented in the gear lexicon.
The institute is the competent partner for the solution of kinematic, dynamic or vibration-technical tasks for all motion devices. IGMR's competence is evident in structural and dimensional synthesis as well as in the areas of tolerance investigation, measurement technology, design of controlled drives (e.g. electronic cam), cam gears, path planning and motion design.


Participation Requirements & Target Group

The training "Selection of a Driverless Transport System" is aimed at engineers, technicians, managers or executives from the fields of mechanical engineering, manufacturing, electrical engineering, IT, digitalization, HR, operational and strategic management. You will particularly benefit from this course if you want to introduce or expand driverless transport systems in the area of:

  • production
  • assembly
  • packaging technology.

The number of participants is limited to 20 persons in order to ensure an efficient knowledge transfer in the dialog between the participants and lecturers is guaranteed.
