Various forms of Braille and their production processes; implementation of Arduino projects; realization of solutions in relation to the requirements of a specific peer group (visual impairments)

Braille is a tactile writing system developed by Louis Braille in the 1820s to enable blind and visually impaired people to read and write. The script is based on a system of raised dots arranged in a 2x3 grid. Each letter, number, punctuation mark and even special abbreviations are represented by different combinations of these six dots. There are different gradations of Braille, ranging from the basic level, which includes the basic letters and characters, to advanced Braille, which includes complex structures such as mathematical and scientific notations and special abbreviations. The operation of a Braille printer is similar to that of a conventional printer, but instead of inks or colors, raised dots are produced. Braille printers are compatible with computers or mobile devices and can print Braille directly from digital text documents. Due to the mechanical work required, these devices are often large, heavy and very expensive. An existing open source project is now to be developed further. The version "La Picoreuse" (https://github.com/iapafoto/BraillePrinter) is now to be redesigned in such a way that the documented errors (such as embossing depth and embossing strength, standard conformity of the Braille characters, communication with the end user, etc.) can be corrected.

Learning outcomes/competences

Students have acquired the ability to examine and discuss issues relating to the topic of sustainability with reference to digital transformation, smart technologies and societies from an engineering perspective and to work on them in an interdisciplinary context. They will be able to develop, adequately present and explain a use case in the context of the summer school's main topic. Students will be able to consider and integrate knowledge from different disciplines and cultures for their own subject area and select relevant aspects for the use case from the complex contexts, as well as transfer the knowledge gained to other issues. Through intercultural training in a workshop format, sensitivity for working and designing in international contexts is acquired. Students also acquire communication techniques for heterogeneous teams and an understanding of global diversity.

At the RMS Summer School, the topic of "Sustainability regional" is examined by various specialist disciplines in an international exchange and dealt with from an engineering and technical perspective. Sub-focal points are:

Smart systems
Digital transformation and digital infrastructures
Energy and energy transition o Industry 4.0
Modeling and simulation
Mobility development
Sustainability economics
Project management

The specialist program is based on three main components, focusing on current trends in technology and society.

Specialist presentations followed by a discussion
Specific excursions that provide a practical insight
Student working groups with an international and interdisciplinary composition to apply and discuss the newly acquired knowledge. The "use case development" (e.g. poster project) is used to develop framework conditions for a fictitious or real project as well as to create requirement profiles and interdisciplinary solution approaches to the challenges of modern metropolitan regions, of which the Ruhr region is an example, and to apply the newly acquired knowledge in practice.

The Summer School will kick off with joint intercultural training for German and international participants in a workshop format. The joint conclusion will take the form of a panel discussion.

Applied embedded systems such as embedded controllers for industrial (i.e. robotics) applications are surrounded from sensors and actuators. Together with other embedded systems they can be groups of networked computers, which have a common goal for their work. This course gives an overview about the recent state of the art in embedded and cyber physical systems. Each semester, a selected CPS application will be analyzed in depth. This can be from robotic, energy, mobile communications or industrial scenarios (industry 4.0). The student will learn how to explore and structure a certain application domain and how to map the acquired skills and knowledge to that particular domain. CPS applications will be selected from recent research projects.

The ongoing complexity increase in mechatronic solutions consequently leads to more complex embedded systems and embedded software. Therefore, advanced SW engineering methodology from large software development projects is consecutively applied in the embedded world, too. Software architectures help to structure, to manage and to maintain large embedded SW systems. They allow re-use, design patterns and component based development. In addition, specific topics like safety, SW quality, integration and testing are addressed by SW architectures and respective standards (e.g. AUTOSAR). In this module, students learn about the concepts and structure of SW architectures for embedded systems.
