You are studying at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and are interested in Robotics & Teamwork?
Combining newly learned things in your studies with practical experience is what makes a great robotics engineer. We have various Projects in software, hardware and electronics. Additionally we are always searching for support in PR & marketing. Besides gaining practical experience with robots you can learn softskills like presenting, networking and organizing at luhbots.
Topics
Things you can do at luhbots!
Hardware
We are using CAD-Programs such as Fusion 360 and SolidWorks to design our Robots. With our 5-Axis CNC-Machine we can manufacture our own metal parts and learn more about topics like process engineering.
Electronic
You can learn how to design printed circuit boards and design complex circuits, for example to control BLDC-Motors or operate a solenoid kicker. With our diagnose equipment we can repair, modify and inspect existing electronic. Of course you can learn how to solder as well.
Software
Gaining practice with ROS (Robot Operating System) is always good for a robotics developer. So besides in robotics widespread programming language C++, you can learn how to use and program in ROS as well and find out about the general structures of modern robotics.
Travel
The Robocup is held yearly in different countries. By joining luhbots you get the opportunity to travel to places like Sydney, Australia or Montreal, Canada.
PR & Organisation
Since we are a self organized students robotics team, much of our work has to do with organization of the team, communication with our partners and presenting on social media and web. If you are interested in those topics, you are exactly right here.
Practical experence
Studies are often very theoretical and boring, especially at the beginning of your investigations. At luhbots you get practical experience with robots and programming right from the beginning of your studies.
Teamwork
Teamwork is our number one priority. Without great teamwork, participation in the Robocup leagues wouldn't be possible. For many members luhbots is like a second family.
Softskills
Things that are often missing in technical studies are soft skills such as presenting, communicating and discussing with or to other team members or partners. Those things don't come up short at luhbots.
Networking
Since we are manufacturing our own robots we have to cooperate with many companies to get things done. That's why here you can get a good impression of the professional industry and manufacturing.
Studium Generale
You can earn up to 8 credit points for your Studium Generale with your work at luhbots if you are studying at the Faculties Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (ET-INF) or Mechanical Engineering.
Fun
Robotic can be fun! Sometimes it's hard to imagine regarding all the hard challenges we have to face, but programming and building robots is fun. At least all our members agree with that.
Master and Bachelor Thesis
In cooperation with various institutes of the Leibniz University you can also write your Bachelor or Master Thesis at luhbots about one of our projects in both of our teams.
