Our research group cooperates successfully with energy and process industries and the transport sector through industrial PhD and
MSc projects as well as with Centre for Electric Technology (CET) and other research groups at DTU. Internationally we have cooperation agreements with NTNU, Trondheim, and Institute for Energy Technology, Halden, Norway and Harbin Engineering University, China. Furthermore, we exchange PhD and MSc students with numerous universities in Europe and USA. The ongoing development of a mobile robot control system was successful when negotiating a second license for the software with a Danish company.
In 2009 we successfully initiated the AutomationDESIGN Centre. The centre is a gateway for industry and other external partners for cooperation with DTU within the field of industrial automation and control and to promote cooperation between DTU Electrical Engineering and other groups and centres at DTU within the area. Currently the centre is conducting a pilot project with three leading Danish industries and several PhD projects are in preparation.
The AutomationDESIGN Centre serves as an industrial gateway to DTU's automation competences focusing on integration from business needs to automation design and performance.
The centre carries out activities in interdisciplinary cooperation with relevant DTU research groups.
