Visit to Ulm University of Applied Sciences

From March 17 to 22, 2025, faculty members from Óbuda University Alba Regia Faculty, namely Dr. Éva Hajnal, Dr. Márta Seebauer, and Dr. Péter Udvardy, visited Ulm University of Applied Sciences. The delegation was welcomed by Prof. Marc-Oliver Otto, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematical, Natural Sciences, and Energy Management. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen international relations and facilitate knowledge exchange for Alba Regia Faculty.

During the visit, our professors had the opportunity to engage with faculty members from various departments, explore the faculty’s educational programs, research projects, and industrial and research laboratories. We also met with Stephanie Wagner, Director of the International Office; Prof. Ben Dippe, Vice Dean and Director of the Management and Entrepreneurship Center; Prof. Dr. Walter Commerell, Director of the Institute for Energy Technology; Prof. Dr. Hubert Mantz, from the Institute of Applied Natural Sciences; and Prof. Dr. Thomas Walter, from the Institute of Mechatronics.

We had the chance to explore several fascinating sustainability projects, including autonomous mobile robots and UAV aerial photography. Additionally, we visited the university’s High-Tech Energy Park, where we tested a mobile, solar-powered cooking unit. Furthermore, we gained insight into the research activities of the Science Park adjacent to the university.

The visit took place in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with our hosts organizing city tours and gastronomic experiences in the afternoons. We hope that this initial contact will pave the way for a long-term collaboration between our institutions.

Finnish Delegation at the Robotics Lab

On Friday, March 14, Bálint Farkas held a fascinating robotics lab demonstration, which was met with great enthusiasm by the Finnish delegation! The guests arrived from Kemi, the twin city of Székesfehérvár, and were highly impressed by the outstanding facilities of Alba Regia Faculty.

They particularly appreciated the modern lecture halls, the high-tech laboratories, and the excellent learning environment available to our students. We believe their visit will help promote the excellence of Hungarian higher education and the Alba Regia Faculty internationally.

Uzbek Guests at Óbuda University Alba Regia Faculty

We are delighted to welcome our guests from Uzbekistan’s Central Asian University in Tashkent, who are participating in a three-week project at the Industrial Robotics Laboratory of the Óbuda University Alba Regia Faculty.

During the program, students will face real industrial challenges and have the opportunity to enhance their professional knowledge in an international environment. In our industrial robotics lab, they will work with cutting-edge technologies that play a key role in industrial automation and robotics.

We hope that our guests will gain valuable experience and lasting memories during these three weeks and that the cooperation between our university and the Central Asian University will continue to grow in the future.

Dual Education: A Win-Win Model for Students, Universities, and Industry

On January 29, 2025, a webinar on “Dual Education: A Win-Win Model for Students, Universities, and Industry” was held at the “Economics” Faculty of “TIIAME” National Research University. The guest speaker, Dr. Monika Pogatsnik from Óbuda University, Hungary, shared insights on the benefits of the dual education system.

The event took place at the TIIAME” National Research University in Tashkent, Üzbekistan, involving undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers. Several students from other universities in Tashkent also participated.

The discussion covered study opportunities at Óbuda University, the increasing number of international students, and the benefits of studying in Hungary. Participants received valuable information and answers to their questions.

These types of international webinars not only inform but also motivate students to improve their skills, explore study opportunities abroad, and engage in global academic communities.

SAMI2025 – january

Bertalan Beszédes, lecturer at Óbuda University, participated in the January 23-25, 2025. at the IEEE 23nd World Symposium on Applied Machine Intelligence and Informatics (SAMI2025) international conference held in Stará Lesna, Slovakia. https://conf.uni-obuda.hu/sami2025

The title of his article presented at the conference is “Design of a Cost-efficient Uniaxial Solar Tracking Charge Controller”. The article focuses on the design and development of a low-cost single-axis solar tracking charge controller, aimed at maximizing the efficiency of photovoltaic systems, with the current boundary conditions. Further goal of the study is to show a well usable demonstration device for engineering educational purposes, in the field of electronics and embedded systems.

The conference covered many topics, including the fields of intelligent robotics, mechatronics, artificial intelligence and education. The event was supported by several well-known organizations, including Kassai University of Technology, Óbuda University, and IEEE Hungary.

Study Visit to Audi Hungaria

Students from the Alba Regia Faculty of Óbuda University, specializing in engineering informatics, electrical engineering, technical management, and mechanical engineering, recently participated in a study visit to the Audi Hungaria plant in Győr.

This factory tour, now a well-established tradition, offered students a comprehensive introduction to the plant’s history, structure, key vehicle manufacturing processes, and applied technologies through an engaging presentation. The factory’s commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency was also highlighted.

During the visit, students explored the Body Shop, where they observed various forming and assembly techniques, logistics processes, and quality assurance procedures. They also had the opportunity to witness industrial robots operating within manufacturing cells.

As a special highlight at the end of the tour, students participating in Audi’s internship program showcased a vehicle they had worked on, demonstrating a control program they helped develop.
