Recently Received:

EMBEDDED SYSTEMs GRANT, 2016-20

Control and data-driven modeling using Symbolic methods (CADUSY)

The CADUSY project aims at automated and low cost modeling and control for a wide range of industrial applications. By collaborating with industrial partners and users, we aim at accelerating the utilization of our results in the high-tech industry: wafer scanners (ASML), and in the mechatronic industry (FMTC). The modeling and synthesis tools we develop within this project will have a significant impact on

  • Shortening the development cycle of new products in these areas by drastically reducing the time from concept to prototype;
  • Reducing the production costs of consumer electromechanical systems by making affordable the use of non-linear control tools.

Collaborating partners: TU/e, TUDelft, ASML, National Instruments, Evolved Analytics, FMTC.

HTSM GRANT, 2015-19

Nanometer-accurate planar actuation system (NAPAS)

The NAPAS project aims at overcoming the fundamental limits of the dynamic accuracy of moving-magnet planar motors by developing a highly accurate and experi-mentally verified understanding of the dynamics of the coil-magnet interactions together with the development of a control system that, by exploiting this knowledge, capable of significantly improving high-speed positioning and bordering the one-billion-ratio objective.

Collaborating partners: TU/e (EE-EPE), ASML, Philips, Prodrive, Tecnotion, SKF, TNO.
