APPLICATION

Mixed-Reality application in agricultureAutomated Industry 4.0 scenario

Demo of automated robot arms and an AGV (automated guided vehicle). The AGV can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world and connects two production lines, for example.

The MR demo (Mixed Reality) shows a model of an autonomous fruit harvesting robot in a vineyard. Using an app, the model (later the "real" vehicle) can be scanned and then, by clicking on the video image in the app, provides information about individual components and, for example, maintenance instructions, which are then showed on the "real" video.

Curriculum – elective modules

• Catalogue of 29 elective modules with 175 credit points (is updated every semester!)

• You have to select elective modules with at least 39 credit points

• You can choose modules of the catalogue by your own choice. The classification of modules (Application, Technology, Design) is a guideline for you only.

Necessary steps if you want to take an exam:

1. Register for the module on SELMA.

2. Register for the exam.

• The registration period for the exams is announced by the examination office. Usually , the registration period in the winter semester is in January/February.

• For further information on the exams we will have another meeting in January!

Folie 27

Studying in Germany

• 15 weeks lectures, tutorials and lab courses, 4 weeks exams afterwards

• Learning during the exam weeks only is not enough! attend all classes every week, participate actively and start working on problems during thesemester treat your study like a 40hour, full-time-job

Workload for each module is given in the module description

• Rule of thumb: 1 credit point is earned through 30 hours of work!

• Example: 180 hours (6 CP) for „Fundamentals of Estimation and Detection“

Lectures (2 hours x 15 weeks) 30

Tutorials (2 hours x 15 weeks) 30

Preparation for exam (38 hours) 38

Exam (2 hours) 2

Self-Study (5:20 hours x 15 weeks) 80

Workload 180

• Rework transcript after lecture

• Read transcript before next lecture

• Solve exercises

• Discuss issues with fellow students

• Studying related books

• etc.


Folie 28

German culture

• What do you consider as typical characteristics of Germans, which have you heard about?

• Which German characteristics have you encountered?

• Choose one German characteristic and explain the difference to the culture of your homecountry?


Folie 29

German culture

• Come to appointments and lectures in time (and observe deadlines!)

• Salutation with title and surname (especially for people that are hierarchically higher than you)

• More subject- and work-oriented than people-oriented

• Direct criticism no loss of face

• If you have any questions: don‘t be afraid to ask!
