Research institute Center for Reliable Mechatronic Systems (ZMS)

Founded in 2015 by Professor Markus Glaser, the Center for Reliable Mechatronic Systems focuses on the development and verification of systems in extreme environmental conditions where a high degree of safety and reliability is required. Around 15 members of staff and students work in Systems Engineering and component development in research projects in the fields (of) deep-sea technology, battery technology and medical technology in collaboration, cooperation with industrial partners.

In addition to all the necessary tools for system development and simulation, the center's laboratory / lab is equipped with motor test benches, load simulators and real-time systems for qualifying electric drives, among other things. There are also systems for analyzing biomechanical parameters such as motion profiles and ground reaction forces.

The skills of members of staff and students from a wide range of engineering sectors form reliable, safe Mechatronic Systems at the highest technical level.

Overview of research topics

Partners

Advanced Mechatronics GmbH

Fischer Elektromotoren GmbH

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (allgem.)

The ZMS cooperates with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The close cooperation, cooperative venture, partnership, collaboration enables the realization of a cooperative doctorate.

University of Munich

In the special field of safe power electronics and drives, the ZMS cooperates with the Chair of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (EAL) at the Technical University of Munich. In close exchange through regular project meetings, a cooperative doctorate is supervised together with Professor Ralph Kennel.

University of Stuttgart

The ZMS cooperates with the Department, Institute for Machine Elements (IMA) at the University of Stuttgart. The special field is reliability engineering. The close cooperation, cooperative venture, partnership, collaboration with the IMA makes it possible to carry out a cooperative doctorate at the ZMS.
