The IKM is one of the oldest institutes at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and has become an internationally renowned center for top-level research in the field of numerical mechanics over the years. Our research spectrum covers the central areas of modeling and algorithm development for the numerical simulation of systems and processes, which are becoming increasingly important in times of digitalization. We offer all important courses for this purpose so that students can optimally master the demands placed on engineers by digitalization. The IKM is involved in basic research and also serves as a partner for industry.

About the content:
In recent years, a large number of different robotic systems made of soft materials have been developed. Thanks to their low stiffness and the resulting flexibility, these are considered advantageous in terms of handling unknown objects or interacting with their environment. However, the development and use of soft robotic systems for real-world applications remains a challenge to this day. The systematic synthesis of soft robot systems requires appropriate tools for modeling the system behavior. The talk will give an overview of the potential of soft robot systems as well as methodologies to describe the system.
