 The Saxion University of Applied Sciences' Mechatronics Research Group works on the development of innovative technologies and systems. All research activities are demand-driven, focusing on applied robotics, mechatronics and artificial intelligence. The group is located in Enchkede, the Netherlands. Focusing on technology readiness levels 4 to 7, it links the scientific world with daily business practice. At Saxion University of Applied Science, we focus on developing innovative robotic solutions. We do that for scientific knowledge institutes to validate their scientific theories and for companies to bring their innovative ideas into life. Our research on robotics and embedded AI results into new proof of concepts and prototypes. Where universities focus on TRL levels 1 to 4 and companies focus on TRL levels 8 to 9, the Mechatronics Research Group is the bridge between them, focusing on TRL levels 4 to 7. We play a key role in the knowledge transfer between universities and the industry where applicable technology development. The research programs and their corresponding roadmaps are defined together with industrial partners, while taking into account the latest global trends in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. With the specialization lines based on scientific insights, researchers, systems engineers and students work together in the lab to design, develop, build and test innovative technologies. New product generation stem from initial ideas and concepts realized by the research group. With the two integration lines, unmanned robotic systems and smart industrial robots, new technologies are combined into new robotic concepts. The group uses multiple test labs to extensively test the performance and robustness of the developed systems. State-of-the-art indoor test lab facilities include, for example, the Optitrack facility and Vision Lab. This has the largest indoor-outdoor drone dome in Europe, where robots can be tested in a controlled outdoor environment. As co-founder of Space 53 and T-Valley, the group also has an extensive and robust network. Engineers from companies, students, teachers and researchers are working together on more than 20 projects, building up an impressive knowledge base. These projects are always demand-driven thanks to contacts with the business community. It leads to the influx of new talent and new innovations both in and outside the company. Our ambition is to be the best innovative center of expertise in applied robotics and artificial intelligence in Northwest Europe and therefore become indispensable partners in solving urgent societal challenges through new and innovative knowledge and products.
