The University of Twente has world-class facilities, where we work on ground-breaking research to make a positive impact, and improve the wellbeing of people through robotics.
At the University of Twente, we have a variety of facilities enabling us to bring robotics to life.
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.
Robotics and Mechatronics Lab
With a variety of robotic setups, we investigate the applicability of new robotic systems and methods in practical situations. From robotic birds to the hexapod robot, we bring them to life in the RAM Lab.
Precision Engineering Lab
Here, we develop model-based methods for the design and control of high-precision systems.
Human Media Interaction Lab
This lab brings together students and researchers to collaborate on all things that involve the use and creation of interactive technology.
Surgical Robotics Lab
With a dynamic research agenda, and a multidisciplinary team - of engineers, clinicians, and industrial collaborators - we focus on developing innovative solutions for clinically-relevant challenges.
BMS Lab
Over 600 m2 of high end-lab facilities to infuse social sciences and technology with innovative equipment to carry out research, software development capacity and research platforms.
Virtual Reality Lab
The VR Lab supports decision-making in multidisciplinary design phases and helps researchers and industry partners to identify and analyse details in the physical world that are difficult to study with the naked eye.
Smart Industry Lab
Virtual representations of products can enable testing without the need to actually build physical prototypes. Changes can even be made in real-time.
DesignLab
A platform for researchers with design-based questions, and spaces designed to trigger innovative thinking, stimulate collaboration, and facilitate those wishing to prototype their ideas.
Soft Robotics Lab
Extending the abilities of soft wearables and healthcare robots by exploring the symbiosis of robotics and additive manufacturing.
Nakama Robotics Lab
This lab brings together machine learning and robotics, to create a robotic platform that can learn to physically collaborate with humans on a variety of tasks, or even autonomously take over those tasks.
Neuromechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab
At the NMLE Lab, they interface robotic technologies with the neuromuscular system for enhancing human movement.
Vascularization Lab
The lab focuses on tuning the local mechanical and chemical micro-environment in order to control development and organization of vascularized engineered tissues.
