At the University of Twente, groundbreaking research turns dreams into reality


The University of Twente is home to world-class facilities where dreams take shape and come to life. Our advanced labs and testing spaces provide students, researchers, and partners with the tools to help them realise their projects. From wind tunnels and drone fly zones to maker spaces, our facilities are built for exploration and innovation. They’re not just for university projects; companies can test their technologies here too, and even you can develop your own personal creations.

Research Facilities
Wearable Robotics Lab
Wearable robots can be used to either augment, train, or supplement human motor function. Examples include exoskeletons, bionic prostheses, exo-suits, and body-worn collaborative robots.
