Dipl.-Ing. Phillip Kronthaler, research assistant at the Institute for Automation and Control Engineering, won the best paper award at the VDI Mechatronik-Tagung taking place in Dresden in March 2017.
His contribution ,Model based control of a high precision dual gantry platform with elastic cross coupling’ deals with model based control- and compensation strategies for increasing the positioning accuracy of pick-and-place units.
The VDI Mechatrionik-Tagung focuses on the become commonplace connection of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and informatics in industry and fields of research. The conference is held every second year and provides a place for researchers, developers, decision makers, and product managers for talks related to practice.
This year 65 papers form the fields of automatization, aerospace, automotive, medical engineering, and power industry were submitted.
We congratulated our college Phillip Kronthaler for this award and his excellent performance.
