About us
At Mittweida University of Applied Sciencesā InnoLab, ideas are born that go beyond the traditional lecture theatre. Here, students from the fields of Electrical Engineering ā Automation, Computer Science, Mathematics, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence work together on their own projects, free from the constraints of timetables and seminar rooms, at their own pace and through interdisciplinary collaboration.
What began as an open space for experimentation has now become a vibrant hub for hands-on learning and genuine innovation: from gesture-controlled games and custom Discord and Telegram bots to mobile robots with ROS2 connectivity. Currently, for example, the InnoLab team is working on the āSmart Hiveā project, in which they are collaborating with the campus beekeepers to develop digital solutions to support bee colonies, as well as on their own snack vending machine with an NFC reader and terminal connection.
If you fancy putting what youāve learnt straight into practice, the InnoLab is the place for you. Whether itās taking your first steps in 3D Printing, soldering on your own project, programming beyond the lecture hall, or working with real robots such as āWall-Eā, āUfoā, āDobbyā and āKreacherā: At the InnoLab, youāll learn alongside other students, receive support for your own ideas and gain practical experience that will stand you in good stead long after youāve finished your degree. Regular workshops on topics such as 3D Printing, soldering, Linux and Python are open to students from all disciplines.
The InnoLab is a place where students with a passion for technology and an interdisciplinary mindset take the lead in carrying out projects from concept to completion. For companies, this offers the opportunity to engage at an early stage with motivated young talent from the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and related disciplines, to initiate joint projects or to get to know students for work placements, final-year projects and career entry.
Any support ā whether in the form of materials, equipment or funding ā goes directly towards student projects and makes a tangible difference: new components for ongoing projects, tools for workshops or technology for the next generation of robots in the InnoLab. As a sponsor, you become part of an environment where ideas are turned into tangible results and the next generation of talent is trained in a practical setting.
Our rooms
Building 1 ā Measurement Technology and Lounge (11-002/1)
This is the InnoLabās technical room. Here youāll find a small selection of various measuring instruments, tools, PCs and, of course, the sofa, where you can sit comfortably and think in peace.
Workshop 2 ā PCB Lab (9-102)
Here you can solder your own circuit boards, whether THT or SMD. Weāve got just about everything you could possibly need in terms of tools and materials.
Plant 3 ā Assembly & Manufacturing (11-111)
The space offers plenty of options for working: 3D Printing, milling, soldering stations, prototyping facilities and a flexible corner for brainstorming, as well as workstations with a monitor and docking station for your own laptop.
