➀ HSBI mechatronics students created a self-adjusting dartboard using high-speed cameras, actuators, and image processing to ensure every dart hits the bull's-eye;

➁ The project, supported by Beckhoff Automation and other sponsors, simulated industrial workflows, integrating mechanics, programming, and project management;

➂ Iterative improvements across multiple student teams enhanced the system’s speed and accuracy, with ongoing optimization potential for future groups.

➀ Esslingen University introduces the dual-degree MechatronikBUSINESS program, combining Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering, enabling students to earn two bachelor’s degrees in nine semesters;

➁ New specializations include Medical Technology, Energy/Hydrogen Systems, and AI in mechatronic applications, aligning with industry trends;

➂ Flexible study models (part-time, corporate partnerships, and work-study combinations) and enrollment options are available, with an open day scheduled for May 2025.

➀ Students from HSBI's Mechatronics/Automation program at the Gütersloh campus have developed a cocktail machine capable of mixing Caipirinha, complete with a lemon press and crushed ice production.

➁ The intuitive machine meets industrial standards for food hygiene and safety.

➂ The project showcases the practical applications of mechatronics and automation technology in the real world.
