The Department of Automotive Technologies was delighted to welcome Leonárd Lapis, representing ThyssenKrupp Presta AG, for a lecture on Alternative Steering Functions. The event was part of the Automated Driving Systems AVCE program, enriching our students’ knowledge of modern alternative steering solutions.

Leonárd traveled from Liechtenstein and shared his expertise with our students and faculty for the second time. His lecture provided insights into the future of automotive innovations and demonstrated the technological advancements shaping the next generation of steering systems.

Leonárd’s supervisor, Dr. Kristof Polmans, Senior Vice President of ThyssenKrupp Steering, has also been a guest speaker at our department, further strengthening the collaboration between our university and ThyssenKrupp.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to Ádám Bárdos, Head of the Vehicle Dynamics and Control Research Group, whose outstanding efforts were instrumental in organizing this event. Such collaborations are crucial in bridging the gap between industrial innovation and academic education.

Events like these are of great importance as they allow students to complement their theoretical knowledge with practical insights. We are grateful to Leonárd for dedicating his time and enriching the academic life of our department!
