Silver medal at Euroskills 2025 Competition

The EuroSkills 2025 competition in Herning, Denmark concluded with an outstanding result: the Hungarian industrial robotics team won the silver medal.

The competitors, Márk Liszi and Bence János Kápolnás, students of the Alba Regia Faculty of Óbuda University, represented Hungary and our institution with dedication and expertise.

Their preparation was strongly supported by Óbuda University and Fanuc.

Special thanks to Bálint Farkas, faculty engineer at AMK, and István Bíró, Fanuc colleague, for their professional guidance!

Over the course of three days, the competitors built a fully automated manufacturing cell:

  • 🛠️ designed and simulated in ROBOGUIDE,
  • 🤖 assembled physically,
  • 📄 prepared documentation,
  • 🖥️ developed a custom user interface.

The complexity of the project reached a level typically achieved by experienced system integrator companies over weeks or even months.

This achievement is especially valuable to us, as it demonstrates that

the knowledge developed in Székesfehérvár, at the Alba Regia Faculty, stands strong on the international stage.

Congratulations to the competitors, and thank you for setting such a remarkable example!

Our Students on the Path of Scientific Excellence – OTDK Achievements and Rector’s Commendations

Students of Óbuda University have achieved outstanding results at the 37th National Scientific Students’ Associations Conference (OTDK), held in Pécs between April 23–25, 2025. A total of 34 students from the university received awards, including two students from the Alba Regia Technical Faculty (AMK) who excelled in the Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing division of the Physics, Earth Sciences and Mathematics Section.

AMK Success Stories:

  • Máté Péter Simon (Geoinformatics MSc student)
    Determining Harvest Dates from SENTINEL-1 Time Series Using Convolutional Neural Networks
    1st place
    External supervisor: Vivien Pacskó
    Institutional supervisor: Dr. habil Gábor Molnár
  • Balázs Böröcz (Assistant Lecturer, former MSc student)
    Detection of Robinia Pseudoacacia Forests in Hungary Using SENTINEL-2 Satellite Imagery
    2nd place
    Institutional supervisor: Dr. habil Gábor Molnár

Both students received Rector’s Commendations in recognition of their scientific achievements and their contribution to the university’s academic reputation.

The university leadership emphasized that while Óbuda University has a strong presence in several scientific fields, there are areas where further development is needed. To support this, the institution is launching new initiatives and programs to encourage student participation in OTDK and to motivate faculty members to take on supervisory roles.

The focus on results-oriented research is especially important, as Óbuda University will host the Physics, Earth Sciences and Mathematics Section of the OTDK in less than two years.

Congratulations to our award-winning students and their dedicated supervisor!

Victory and Special Award at the Aruba Cloud Hackathon – Success of the Syntax Team

Students from Óbuda University have achieved outstanding results at the Aruba Cloud Hackathon 2025. The Syntax team, composed of four students from the Alba Regia Faculty (AMK) and one student from the John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics (NIK), won 1st place nationally and also received the prestigious AI Campus Special Award.

The competition took place on September 6–7, organized by Aruba Cloud, one of Europe’s leading cloud service providers. During the 24-hour hackathon, 27 teams from higher education institutions competed by solving tasks developed by Aruba Cloud experts, all within the company’s cloud environment.

The Syntax team chose the “Green Impact” challenge, which focused on developing an environmentally conscious application. Their solution was a web-based application designed to help users track their ecological awareness, receive personalized advice, and use artificial intelligence to answer questions related to reducing their carbon footprint.

Team members:

  • Levente Laib – Team captain, 3rd-year Computer Engineering student (AMK)
  • Péter Kristóf Jákob – 3rd-year Computer Engineering student (AMK)
  • László Ádám Pásztóhy – 4th-year Computer Engineering student (AMK)
  • Balázs Szabó – 3rd-year Computer Engineering student (AMK)
  • Ádám Ferenc Pinczési – 3rd-year Computer Engineering student (NIK)

According to the team’s report, they faced several challenges during the competition, but thanks to well-organized task distribution and strong team cohesion, they successfully developed their application, which ultimately impressed the jury.

“After last year’s experience, we were determined to participate again. This time, we came with more knowledge, more experience, and even greater enthusiasm. We’re very happy with the result and grateful for the opportunity to take part in the competition.” – László Ádám Pásztóhy

We congratulate the Syntax team on their outstanding achievement and wish them continued success in their academic and professional careers!
