Research projects 2023

In the course System Analysis, VU and UT students Mechanical Engineering learn the dynamics of mechanical and electronic systems. This project brings real-world applications from the research lab to the classroom within several undergraduate projects. The setup used for this purpose consists of mechanical, electrical, optical and software components, making it a good example of a mechatronic system. In the first project, students are diving into the next generation of molecular clocks and time and frequency distributions. These will lead to a quantum leap in industries, with applications such as smart highways and automated driving. In the second project, students focus on developing increased material efficiency in laser-based manufacturing processes. This process offers the possibility of repairing devices so their lifespan will be extended and waste reduced.
