Workshop on DC drives offered by maxon motor

A total of 26 students of the Master of Mechanical Engineering of  the UPV/EHU received a theoretical-practical training on direct current drives.


Last month, on 20th March, maxon motor offered a workshop on selection and management of direct current motors in the Engineering Faculty of Bilbao (UPV/EHU). Maxon motor is one of the leading companies to worldwide level in drives of this type. Thus, it was a great opportunity for the 26 students attending the workshop, who received, first, a theoretical training about the operation of the engines maxon and his selection in the design phase. Later on, they could test some of the studied drives in a laboratory session with different equipment provided by the company itself. The day was a success, as confirmed by the students themselves, who received first-hand training from maxon staff specialized in training industry professionals.

Talk about robotics for the Red Cross

The Red Cross in Getxo offers the course “Envejecimiento activo” (active aging) where retired people talk every Monday about up-to-date interest topics. Last week, Saioa Herrero offered them a talk about Robotics. It was a very interesting morning where they talk about the past, present and future of robotics, and they shared their feelings about the increasing use of robots in our society.
