This trend towards miniaturization requires systems with distributed motion, as in compliant mechanisms, as well as distributed actuation and sensing, and understanding of multiphysical contact phenomena. The program emphasizes systems design, and the EngD trainees focus on strengthening both their technical. As a technological designer, you have the rewarding task of translating new ideas and plans into mechatronic system designs. At the same time we envision small-scale machines for dedicated tasks in for instance inspection or manufacturing of devices with nano-scale features for micro robotics, along with medical applications such as targeted drug delivery. The EngD program track Mechatronic Systems Design program will give your career in high tech industry a kick-start. We are developing motion devices and stages with nano-positioning accuracy, requiring novel actuator concepts such as electromagnetic and pre-sliding actuators, contactless handling systems, while also metrology concepts require rethinking for application in affordable nano-accuracy manipulators. The fundamental technologies that we develop in this area are vital for high performance systems in future machines, robotics and automation settings. Mechatronic system design is a research field that is characterized by synergistic integration of mechanisms, sensors, actuators and control to perform complex tasks in a multiphysical environment. More recently, increasing emphasis on achieving smart integration at the systems level has resulted in the development of concepts such as Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things in which the interaction between (mechatronic) smart objects and their access to information drives behaviour.
