Institute for Robotics and Autonomous Systems
What are we doing?
Our Institute of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (IRAS) focuses on the application of machine learning in robotics and automation, as well as the integration of cloud technologies in autonomous robotic systems.
In our state-of-the-art robotics lab, we conduct research and practice on two floors. Our team is integrated by doctoral students, academic staff, and students from various faculties. At IRAS, we aim to promote cross-faculty collaboration to foster the exchange of ideas, drive innovation and establish a collaborative work culture.

Feriencamp mit dem Stadtjugendausschuss Karlsruhe
Thu, 24.04.2025 bis Fri, 25.04.2025 | 09:00 bis 16:00
Wir haben das Vergnügen in den Ferien an zwei Tagen die Gruppe des Stadtjugendausschusses an der HKA Willkommen zu heißen.
Dieses Jahr haben wir uns etwas ganz besonders ausgedacht. Um die Vielfalt der HKA vorstellen zu können, bieten unterschiedliche Fakultäten an zwei Tagen unterschiedliche Workshops und Programme an. Neben Robotik wird auch inspirING for Kids dabei sein und die Brücke zwischen MINT und der Tierwelt aufzeigen?
Das klingt spannend? Dann jetzt über den Stadtjugendauschuss anmelden!
