Symposium at SRH University of Applied Science Berlin

Summary

The GeoIT Association started this year with an exciting symposium at SRH University of Applied Sciences Berlin, welcoming many visitors, including students from various engineering programs and faculty members.

Our speakers shared valuable insights into modern topics such as: ROS, drone technology, positioning system and agriculture applications, enriching the discussions on the latest advancements in these fields.

One of the highlights of the symposium was the presentation of a flight simulator, developed by Prof. Arno Fischer in collaboration with students. Visitors had the opportunity to test the simulator firsthand, experiencing its design and practical applications. This interactive demonstration was met with great enthusiasm.

The symposium concluded with a panel discussion, where participants exchanged ideas, shared their perspectives, and discussed potential future directions for research and innovation. This closing session fostered valuable conversations, highlighting the importance of collaboration between academia and industry in shaping technological advancements.
