➀ Hochschule Darmstadt offers two online master's programs—Electrical Engineering (M.Sc.) and Reliability Engineering (M.Eng.)—in collaboration with zfh, focusing on technical, managerial, and sustainability skills for leadership roles;

➁ The Electrical Engineering program provides four specializations (Automation, Energy Technology, Medical Technology, and Microelectronics) with flexible study durations (4-6 semesters) based on prior academic credits;

➂ The Reliability Engineering program emphasizes sustainable production processes and requires a relevant bachelor's degree and professional experience, preparing graduates for careers in manufacturing and technical management.

➀ Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a hybrid robot that combines the strengths of rigid and soft robots, enabling it to handle delicate tasks like screwing in a lightbulb while maintaining necessary torque.

➁ This hybrid robot uses a novel material inspired by constant-velocity (CV) joints, which allows it to be flexible, extendable, and compliant while still applying force effectively.

➂ The innovation bridges the gap between traditional rigid and soft robotics, offering a new approach to robotic design that emphasizes both safety and functionality.
