After the foundation stone was laid in spring 2013, the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics and the Institute of System Dynamics and Control moved into the new premises of the RMC in summer 2015. With space for 300 colleagues and 80 students, the new building will foster closer cooperation between the two institutes within the RMC. The new RMC building will become the incubator for new ideas and discoveries in robotics and beyond.
On 15 April 2016, the RMC building will officially be inaugurated.
