Abstract
Mechatronics can be defined as an integration of mechanics, electronics and computer engineering sciences by combining knowledge from these fields in research and product design and implementation. The main goal of the “DAMEK mechatronics research group” is to improve the functionality of mechanical components and systems by use of a mechatronic approach. DAMEK research is therefore focused on the two following areas: Control theory applied to control of mechanical systems and real-time systems. In the research there is a specific emphasis on motion control applications such as vehicle dynamics control systems and industrial robot control systems.
