The research of Mechatronics Research Group translates scientific knowledge into new technologies and innovations for industry. Through the clustering of projects, the program lines of the lectorate have been created over the years. The demand-driven research lines are dynamic in nature due to the method used.
Key aspects taken into account while defining the core technological building blocks:
- Current trends and state-of-the-art;
- Possibility to claim unique position in the knowledge chain;
- Availability of expertise (competence);
- Applicability of technology for various application domains
We work on our projects with different companies and knowledge institutes. An overview of all partners we work with can be found on this page.
