Research at iMEK

Research takes place at the Institute for Mechatronics (iMEK) at Hamburg University of Technology and is organized into three research fields. Detail pages on fields and projects live on the institute website — tuhh.de/imek.

Electrical Measurement Systems

Electrical impedance tomography and spectroscopy, inductive sensing and autonomous sensor platforms — from process analytics within the Collaborative Research Centre 1615 SMART Reactors to ocean observation. Projects: Electrical Impedance Tomography · AMUSED · SMART Sensor Particles

Mobile Electrical Energy Systems

Design and optimization of electrical machines, thermal management of traction drives, DC power systems for ships and sector coupling. Projects: HIL test systems · Micro-Grid Lab

Human-Machine Collaboration

Haptic systems from perception thresholds to teleoperation: haptics test stand, Coupled Resonance Dynamics, mechanical impedance measurement and control, telerobotics, rehabilitation robotics and bio-inspired sensing.

Collaborations and thesis topics are welcome at any time.
