Girls for Robots
2024-08-27 16:00 - 17:30 (Europe/Berlin)
From 27th August, our new AG will start: Girls for Robots!
The all-day programme Girls for Robots offers schoolgirls from all over Saxony the opportunity to program robots on their own. The aim is for girls to gain more experience and self-confidence in dealing with technology and thus promote their interest in scientific fields. The vision is to use Girls for Robots to accompany girls and young women on a path to becoming self-confident engineers and specialists in the field of robotics in Saxony.
To inspire the girls to pursue a career in science, the project is supported by female founders from the field of digitalisation. They can share their knowledge and experience to act as role models for the young women. Field trips to regional companies are also part of the Girls for Robots programme.
The AG will take place every Tuesday afternoon at TU Dresden from 27th August onwards. The target group of the offer are girls from 7th to 10th grade from all over Saxony. We can offer 18 places in this course.
To register, please write to the following e-mail: ceti@tu-dresden.de
The email should contain the following information: Name of the participant, school, grade level, email + phone number of the contact person and any questions or comments. Please read our privacy policy and send the signed declaration of consent to data protection and the photo permission as a PDF to ceti@tu-dresden.de.

ROBOTERSINFONIE
2024-10-12 - 2024-10-14 | HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 56, Dresden, 01109, Germany
The Dresden Symphony Orchestra is giving itself and its audience a spectacular present for its 25th birthday: a double concert in which robots will assist the conductor after the interval. How will the orchestra react, what impact will the new technical possibilities have on compositions and audiences of the future?
Under the baton of Michael Helmrath, 16 brass players and 4 percussionists from the Dresdner Sinfoniker will perform works by Markus Lehmann-Horn, Konstantia Gourzi and Wieland Reissmann in the first part of the evening. After the interval, the conductor hands over the baton of the orchestra to his robot colleague, who immediately has to master a special challenge with the world premiere of #kreuzknoten by Wieland Reissmann. Due to its rhythmic finesse, #kreuzknoten could not be conducted by a human being. This is followed by a commissioned work by composer and jazz pianist Andreas Gundlach for the Dresdner Sinfoniker. In Semiconductor’s Masterpiece, Gundlach uses the cobot’s ability to lead the three-piece orchestra independently through complex rhythmic passages with three arms. The journeyman’s piece by the robot conducting student would certainly not exist in this form in normal life.
Become part of this experience on October 12 and 13, 2024 in Hellerau. Tickets can be purchased on the organizer’s website.

Children's University with Stefanie Speidel at TU Dresden
2025-11-04 17:30 - 19:00 | TU Dresden, Helmholtzstraße 10, Dresden, 01062
Prof. Stefanie Speidel speaks at the Children’s University on the topic of surgery of the future: “High-tech instead of band-aids – What will the operating room of the future look like?”
In her lecture, she shows children how surgical robots work and how AI can be used to teach them to perform certain tasks independently. She also explains how these systems can think for themselves during an operation, provide important information, and even identify risks at an early stage.
