IHA - Innovative Hydraulics and Automation

Innovative Hydraulics and Automation (IHA) is doing interdisciplinary research in the field of Fluid power automation, by the bridging of theory and practice with cooperation with industry.

Kalevi Huhtala, Jouni Mattila, Reza Ghabcheloo, Tatiana Minav

Manufacturing and Production Automation

Research in Manufacturing and Production Automation focuses on intelligent machines and systems, ICT tools to design and model, and the required theoretical frameworks supporting modeling, simulation, and optimization of advanced manufacturing processes.

The following groups are active in this area:

Research and educational environments:

The RoboLab Tampere has been established to facilitate the learning process or both formal and non-formal education, and academia-industry R&D&I collaboration. The RoboLab Tampere operates with similar principles as e.g. Fab Labs.
Virtual FMS is a Digital Twin for educational purposes with physical counterpart FMS Training Center located at Fastems Oy premises.

Minna Lanz, Eric Coatanea, Roel Pieters

Mechatronics research

Mechatronics Research Group conducts research in close cooperation with industry in the area of intelligent machines and systems. Our objective is to create new knowledge in the area mechatronics and mechanical engineering which can be applied in real products and processes and also to be published in high level scientific journals and conferences.
