Project description
Training engineers in mobile working machines development
Mobile working machines (MWMs) are central to mining, construction, harbours, forestry and farming, and play a vital role in sustainability, productivity and economic growth. To meet ambitious goals for green, safe and autonomous operations, and to address the shortage of skilled professionals, the ENGAGE project, supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, will train a new generation of engineers. The consortium brings together leading academic groups and industrial partners across Austria, Finland, Germany and Sweden. ENGAGE will provide interdisciplinary training in robotics, AI, and mechanical engineering, control and simulation, alongside domain expertise in construction, logistics, agriculture and mining. By bridging advanced research and industrial needs, ENGAGE will foster innovation and equip experts to drive digitalisation, sustainability and responsible AI in Europe’s MWM industry.
Objective
Mobile working machines (MWM) are ubiquitous in mining, construction, harbours, forestry, and farming, and without doubts vital for
economic and industrial advancement of our society and as such key to sustainability and productivity of our society.
Ambitious goals for sustainability, productivity, and safety, coupled with a shortage of human resources, have prompted the
European mobile working machines ecosystem to come together in proposing this innovative network of
Industrial Doctorates. ENGAGE network will train a new generation of engineers to build next generation mobile working machines
for green and autonomous operations. Key European machine manufacturers (Volvo CE, Liebherr, Ponsse, AGCO),
and technology suppliers (Bosch Rexroth, Bosch, Novatron, Algoryx, GIM Robotics) have joined forces with 6 academic groups highly specialised in AI, robotics, and mechanics from Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Austria to deliver ENGAGE.
Europe’s MWM industry needs to invest heavily in digitalization, ‘green’ and innovative technologies. Thus, there is a rapidly growing
demand for experts: who possess a holistic overview of the trends in sustainability and safety; have an understanding of the challenges and
opportunities that robotics and AI can bring; and who are trained within certain disciplines such as robotics and AI (control, computer science, signal processing), machinery (safety, mechanical engineering, simulation, optimization), domain knowledge (construction, logistics, forestry, agriculture, mining), and big trends (digitalization, sustainability, responsible AI). ENGAGE will address these needs and fill the gap related research and training.
