Team introduction
The Teams consists of several Intakes of “Management of Product Development”. In the Master of Science Program participants are enabled to analyze, design, operate, and implement product development processes in their companies in an optimized way. In a repetitive optimization process each Intake further develops the already existing robot.
Overview Generations
PLUTO PROJECT Generations overview Pluto started out as student project at Intake 2017 to build an autonomous robot for cold beer delivery. As a modular platform, in the future it could be used as autonomous delivery robot for parcels and foods. For that each student generation develops Pluto further. The end point of the previous […]
