Description
We4bee pursues the goal of establishing a worldwide network of high-tech beehives. This is not only to promote environmental research and education, but also to establish an early warning system for earthquakes and other natural disasters. This project collaborates with the University of Würzburg, Germany. In this class Dr. Claudia Leikam (CEO of we4bee), Professor Hotho and Padraig Davidson from the Chair of Computer Science X (big data and machine learning), Professor Jürgen Tautz (THE bee expert), and the engineer Hans Neumayr will give us an overview about this research project. Hans Neumayr used Fusion 360 software and EAGLE software to create the electronics equipment and some mechanical parts of the beehives. Professor Hotho and Mr. Davidson will provide information on data collection and analysis. Professor Tautz is the well-known bee expert, and Dr. Leikam will give you a view of the scientific aspects of this amazing project.
Key Learnings
- Learn about data collection from the beehives.
- Learn about the electronics equipment used.
- Get interesting insight into the beehive’s environment and its reaction to external changes.
- Increase your awareness and understanding of the processes in nature from which we can learn.

Richard HammerlSomeone wrote the following lines about me: Richard is a mechanical engineer with more than 25 years experience in the electronics sector. As one of the long-time experts for the now standardized PCB design software EAGLE, Richard offered technical support and documentation in direct contact with customers and PCB manufacturers - this made him one of the most well-known faces of the PCB industry in Europe and helped to increase the popularity of EAGLE and make it the most used PCB software worldwide. His experience and expertise has led him to help integrate PCB design into mechanical CAD - which now is Fusion 360 Electronics - providing PCB designers and mechanical engineers with better functionality, less error prone, and shorter lead times - helping his customers to remain competitive in global markets and increasing profit margins for those who create assemblies with integrated electronics.
