Institute at the University of Klagenfurt
On the evening of 24 April 2026, the AAU and Lakeside Park hosted the largest Long Night of Research ever held in Carinthia: 106 stations, one campus, and approximately 9,000 visitors recorded throughout the night. NES contributed with a strong presence across three stations, spanning swarm robotics, wireless sensing, and […]
On 7 April 2026, the Shared Charging project consortium convened for an internal workshop on inclusive and user-centred design, hosted by FH Kärnten at its Villach campus. Representatives from nine partner organisations attended: FH Kärnten, AAU, Lakeside Labs, go-e, Kelag, Silicon Austria Labs, Silicon Alps, Infineon, and Kärnten Solar, covering […]
After a period of five months, the University of Klagenfurt’s Outdoor Drone Space Austria (ODSA) at the Lakeside Science & Technology Park is close to completion. Alongside the drone hall, this will provide the drone researchers at Dronehub Klagenfurt with outdoor research infrastructure for developing and testing innovative drone technologies. […]
Our student assistant Daniel Bugelnig received the Digitalisierungsstipendium of the state of Carinthia for his Bachelor thesis entitled “Autonomous Drone System for Dynamic 3D-Object Reconstruction” on November 24, 2025. The Bachelor thesis was conducted in collobortion with the i2CAT research center in Barcelona and co-supervised by Filip Lemic, Prof. Perez […]
How can we control swarms of drones so that they can be used to reforest woodlands in the most efficient way? Merna Tohfa, a university assistant at the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems, is developing mathematical models and technologies that enable swarms of drones to scatter tree seeds in […]
Christoph Rauter is in his sixth semester of studying Information and Communications Engineering at the University of Klagenfurt, and is currently writing his Bachelor’s thesis. He took courses at the university while still in secondary school. During his studies he has also worked as a tutor at the university for […]
Whenever a package weighing more than a drone needs to be transported to a disaster area, it takes several mini drones to get the job done. Aamna Piracha is researching decentralized formation control and collaborative slung payload transport with multiple UAVs operating as a collective system. She is particularly interested […]
Many hands make light work: the same applies to multiple robots and drones, which are capable of quickly scanning large areas, and can also clean or inspect them. Khalil Al-Rahman Youssefi’s doctoral thesis focuses on developing new technologies that allow swarms of robots to fully map an area using a […]
In the Smart Grids Group at the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems, our Cyber-Physical Systems Lab may be small, but it is packed with potential. Over the years, our students have tackled some fascinating projects, from developing a smart meter measuring system [1] and implementing the RAPSim microgrid simulator […]
Udo Schilcher, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems, recently completed his post-doctoral university teaching qualification (habilitation) in Information and Communications Engineering. His research centres on improving communication between individual devices without connecting them via cables. There are potential applications in all wireless networks, from mobile phone […]
