The group for Advanced Mechatronic Systems (AMS) at ACIN delivers research and education in the fields of precision engineering, scientific instrumentation and process-measurement systems, as well as industrial automation and control systems. A special focus of these research domains is on industrially relevant applications.
Our research activities aim towards the development of an integrated systems design approach, including theoretical aspects and advanced control methods, for industrial automation, production, and measurement systems.

In general, integrated system design and advanced control, e.g., of mechatronic and micro-systems, will play an important role in future technology. The demands on highest precision and throughput require advanced mechatronic designs and highly sophisticated controllers. Achieving these objectives in a systematic way requires a significant research effort towards the optimal integration of process design and control design.
