Chair of Intelligent Machine Systems – IMS

The Chair of Intelligent Machine Systems was established in September 2017. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Hübler, its research focuses on the following areas, amongst others:

• Light electric vehicles
• Electric motor drive systems, particularly for two-wheeled vehicles (ranging from e-bikes to motorbikes and specialised vehicles)
• Structure-integrated sensor technology
• Mechanical components in drive technology (cable-operated gearboxes, clutches)
• Application of additive manufacturing processes (printed sensors on technical textiles and mechanical components)

Topics:

• Micromobility (cycling)
• Electric drive systems, particularly for two-wheeled vehicles (from e-bikes to motorbikes and specialised vehicles)
• Structure-integrated sensor technology
• Drive system components (cable-operated gearboxes, clutches)
• Additive manufacturing processes (printed sensors on technical textiles and mechanical components)

The student training programme currently comprises the following modules:

• Fundamentals of micromobility
• Sustainable product development
• Fundamentals of design
• Propulsion technology
• Mechatronics product development
• Conveyor Technology
• Micromobility

• Lightweight CVT transmission for e-bike applications
• Development of a filament for printed foams using FDM technology
• Insert-reinforced buffer element for elastic bolt couplings
• Development of a manufacturing technology for printed scale armour on textiles using FDM technology
• Plastic plain bearing with intelligent wear monitoring
• Development of a precession safety clutch
• Production of electrically conductive structures and simple circuits on technical textiles using free-form technology
• Development of a smart belt tensioner
• Development of a sensor-actuator system for protective and specialist clothing with online monitoring and diagnosis of critical user conditions
• Rack for elastic claw couplings with integrated sensor technology
• AI-based monitoring system for plastic plain bearings
• pro-O-light – head orthosis / 2K-HS printing process for moulding the helmet orthosis and software for the gripper system
