Inaugural Lectures
Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Anja Lauer and Jun.-Prof. Dr. Philippe Grönquist gave their inaugural lectures at the Institute of Construction Materials (IWB) at the University of Stuttgart.
Anja Lauer introduced the field of construction robotics. She explained what distinguishes the field from robotics and what opportunities automation and construction robots also offer for the construction industry. She discussed the state of the art and the specific challenges that need to be overcome on the construction site.
Philippe Grönquist introduced the Department of Timber Engineering at the Institute of Construction Materials and the Materials Testing Institute. In particular, he addressed the challenges facing timber construction in the future, as well as the corresponding current research questions and proposed solutions.
