It is the crowning achievement of his studies at Heilbronn University (HHN): graduate Tobias Lück wins the Heinrich Blanc Foundation's sponsorship award for his bachelor thesis. "I am so happy and first and foremost delighted about the recognition and the high level of interest in my work," says the freshly graduated engineer.
Tobias Lück studied mechatronics and robotics (MR) at the Sontheim Campus. In his thesis, he is investigating the topic of drone defense and is cooperating with the German Aerospace Center Braunschweig for this purpose. "The title of my thesis is Development and Test of a Gripping Mechanism for Capturing an Intrusion Drone by a Defensive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Put simply, my development can be used to remove unwanted quadrocopter drones from safety-critical areas such as airports," he explains.
Professor Carsten Wittenberg is Dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Electronics (T1), where the MR program is located. He, too, is very happy for the 24-year-old: "We are very fulfilled by such success stories. We always support and motivate our students to submit their work."
