Robotics Hub Technical University of Kosice

Slovakia: East Slovakia

Overview

The main focus of our Robotics Hub is to support companies with their innovations and digitalisation needs regarding robotics. Also we aim to increase the awareness of possibilities, to stimulate the uptake of digitalisation and to achieve low-threshold access for the ecosystem. We strive to serve our clients as a one-stop-shop.

We support SMEs with their technology or product innovations as follows:

- We create dedicated project teams which match with the specific needs and challenges of the companies innovation.

- We organize courses and trainnings (each for 5-7 people) supporting digitalisation activities of SMEs (automatisation, mechatronics, programming, IT, IoT, etc.). Except of common courses and trainings, we also compose trainings, custom-made to companies needs.

- We organize workshops and open (demonstration) days.

- Besides capabilities like research and development, design, simulatation etc., we contribute with building, testing and validating robotic solutions in our Prototyping & Innovation Center. This center is, among other things, equipped with modern CNC machining centres, enabling us to produce complex prototypes or special components with high precision.

Robotics Hub Kosice has a not-for-profit objective and is organized within the University of Kosice, faculty of mechanical engineering in cooperation with Science Park Technicom and the regional government (Košický samosprávny kraj). Together, we search to excite the local ecosystem and to create more awareness about the opportunities and benefits of digitalisation. This to stimulate the regional economy and to support the main priority areas of the the Regional Innovation and Specialisation Strategies of the Slovak Republic(RIS3) and help to transform less advanced regions into good followers.

Market domains in which we have the most business experience are: automotive, nuclear power industry, inspection&maintenance, manufacturing, internal material handling systems, health care.
