AT THE ROBOTICS CENTRE WE CONTRIBUTE TO A WORLD IN WHICH WE USE ROBOTICS TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY

Exploring the depths of the ocean, detecting life-threatening diseases, flying through the sky, operating inside autonomous vehicles, orbiting in space… Today, robots are almost everywhere. And everywhere they go, they do highly valuable work that we humans could never do alone. As our robotics expertise and experience increase, we imagine a future, in which robots will be working alongside people - in society, in daily life - to make a difference.


We connect technical knowledge with social knowledge. And together with students, researchers and partners in industry and society, we are equipped to outline and take the next steps in robotic solutions. We are the imagineers of a world in which people-first robotics are safely, ethically and effectively integrated.

Imagine the birthplace of future robotics professionals, and of tomorrow’s robotic solutions in the medicalindustry and societal domains. A place where new robotic systems are incubated and designed to improve (human) life. A community of responsible, critical thinkers, making use of all the creativity, knowledge, and facilities at our disposal to create meaningful impact with robots. That place is called: The Robotics Centre!

With the Centre, we want to enable our stakeholders to connect with one another - it is a place where different initiatives at the University of Twente come together. With the Robotics Centre we look beyond the boundaries of our own fields.
