High Tech Systems
In next-generation high-tech and mechatronic systems, extreme functionalities and performance requirements will be realized by using a model-based multi-physics systems approach.
New sensing technologies and actuator designs for multi-physics processes (forces, flows, temperatures, acoustics, optics) will need to be integrated with and used by distributed on-line model-based control and optimization tools. The control systems are adaptive, auto-tuned, are implemented in optimized hardware and software architectures, and use effective (wireless) communication.

High Tech Systems Center
At the TU/e High Tech Systems Center (HTSC), fundamental research and design around new concepts and prototypes takes place while focusing on the needs of the industry. Using systems design paradigms forms a central part of the program and challenges within HTSC.
High-tech and mechatronic systems need to meet fast-developing requirements in functionalities and performance requirements. Systems need to be adaptive, auto-tuned, implemented in optimized hardware and software architectures, and use effective (wireless) communication.
Next-generation systems requires systems engineering as a systematic tool for the conception, design and performance prediction of complex equipment also requires further development.
Our Focus Areas
The seven focus areas of HTSC are innovative and will continue to develop complex engineering.
In the Spotlight
Robotics
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) pushes the frontier of robotics technologies in its many fields of expertise and applications. TU/e aims to positively impact our societal challenges in healthcare, energy, mobility and food.
Robot systems like manipulators, mobile robots, autonomous cars, surgical systems et cetera are a combination of many technologies and fields of expertise. Our research extends to many of those and includes expertise in autonomy, control systems, locomotion, mechatronics, artificial intelligence (machine learning / deep learning), material sciences, electronics, computer sciences, design and user interfacing. It also encompasses less robot-centric expertise like the design of robot based system level factory solutions, its embedding in organizations and the study of its impact on we as humans and our society.

Related research groups
The High Tech Systems Center groups its research activities in the domain of complex high tech mechatronic systems into one top level research center. By combining the expertise from at least four departments: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science and applied physics, the HTSC addresses the complexity problems of future high tech systems design.
Alliances
The High Tech Systems Center undertakes strategic collaborations to arrive at breakthrough innovations within the industry.
NOMI
TU Eindhoven’s High Tech Systems Center (HTSC) joined forces with TNO in the NOMI (Nano Opto-Mechatronics Instruments) collaboration. Together they will drive technology innovations to develop instruments to image, measure and fabricate devices at the level of individual atoms. NOMI innovations is based on the vision of the future where humanity will solve many of future’s challenges in data, energy and life sciences by a continuous miniaturization in device fabrication down to an atomic scale. The applications include nanometrology and nanomanufacturing for nanoelectronics, bio-medical and scientific explorations.
DFPI
Together with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), TNO E and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), started the Digital Food Processing Initiative (DFPI). With the expertise in food science from WUR and the expertise in high-tech from TNO (applied research) and TU/e (fundamental research) this initiative will enable digitally controlled food production innovations. This initiative will collaborate with the food industry to translate ideas more easily
to the market. DFPI focuses on six propositions: equipment development, sustainable food solutions, advanced process control, new product development, personalised food, and food experience.
AMSYSTEMS Center
AMSYSTEMS Center is a joint innovation center for additive manufacturing which focuses predominantly on the development of production equipment for smart, personalized and multi-functional products. The center is founded by Dutch research organization TNO and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). TNO and TU/e HTSC have years of experience in additive manufacturing at their disposal and are making the step towards the next generation of integrated production systems. The center undertakes fundamental and applied research programs to arrive at innovations that ultimately make it to the marketplace via the affiliated companies or spin-offs that are created. At AMSYSTEMS Center experts and scientists are working, who understand the emerging 3D-printing industry needs.

The HTSC Newsletter is a digital newsletter of the TU/e High Tech Systems Center. The newsletter appears 4 times a year.
I looked at several universities and was convinced that TU Eindhoven was the best option. In my view, TU/e can work in very close collaboration with industry. Here, we know how to develop mechatronics systems control and we understand dynamics, the pillars of NOMI. When creating this sort of collaboration, HTSC is the perfect umbrella.
