You participate in the construction of smart machines, assembly cells and robots to demonstrate and test new technologies.

In our new labs, we have disposal of many new prototype machines and every month, new ones are being built.

In this way, we demonstrate to companies the technology of the future and test how robots can cooperate with people, whether or not a fruit picking robot can recognise and pick ripe fruit, if drones in warehouses can count inventories, how 3D printing machines of the future will look like, how weaving machines can work faster and more energy-efficient, how smaller motors may still be able to deliver sufficient power, etc.

Our researchers conceive state-of-the-art technologies. It will be your job to test if they work in the day-to-day practice.
