Ein neuer Wettbewerb für Euroskills 2014Robotics causes fascination among young people. Mobile robot systems are mechatronic systems that differ from the established Industrial Automation very much the fact that they have to solve their tasks in unknown environments. This requires not only new sensor-based technologies at startup and at use, but also new ways of thinking in the control of such systems and their programming. |

PRIA focus on integration
Thursday September 20th, 2012
 |
We are convinced that working on robots, perhaps even in teams of experts from different fields of interest, has a particularly strong integrative force. PRIA has addressed this issue and tries to explore this effect in the current projects to demonstrate how it can be done. |
PRIA lab established at TGM
Monday September 3rd, 2012
We’re very proud to announce the new PRIA laboratory (short PRIA lab) at the TGM (Vienna Institute of Technology). To give students the space where they can unfold their creativity and also their productivity, there are different sections in the laboratory. It should be a place where they are comfortable and even work extracurricular on their projects. Of course, they can contact us with any questions, because our office is right next door.

“Profil-Wissen” published an article on the ECER12
Wednesday June 6th, 2012
During the conference, but even before, it has become clear that robotics not only appeals kids and teenagers for robotics, but also the media for reporting. The spark of enthusiasm has spilled over from the young to the photographers and reporters. So we are proud to present a 6-page article about the ECER and robotics in the new “Profil Wissen” (Edition Nr. 2 | June 2012 | Sites 74-79). The “Dueling of the Machines” and an interview with the project partner from the United States of America, Dr. David Miller, provides insights into the world of research and the enthusiasm of young people about robotics.
