Research stays University of Auckland, New Zealand
January / February 2018: we carried out 3 research stays, during which we got to the other side of the globe. Doctoral students Erik Kajáti, Martin Miškuf and Dr. Peter Pacun traveled to New Zealand to the Intelligent and Interoperable Manufacturing Systems (IIMS) research group of Professor Xun William XU from the University of Auckland . Members of the Intelligent Cybernetics Group presented their research focus, projects and possibilities of cooperation with KKUI, TUKE. These stays were realized thanks to the Erasmus + programs and the Tatrabanka Foundation: the Students to the World program . We also enclose a few photos from this research stay.

Doctoral student Erik Kajáti will remain on his 3-month mobility at the University of Auckland until mid-April.
We firmly believe that this experience will benefit him, and we will soon see each other again in Košice.
Finally, we also attach a few photos outside the university, where we managed to get lost on the weekends.
