The University of Twente excels at technological developments with social relevance. This project brings together elements such as IT, mechatronics, security, electronics and robotics, which makes the Robotics and Mechatronics (RAM) department the ideal knowledge partner. Furthermore, there are groups that mainly conduct research into the practical deployability of drones, including relevant laws and regulations. The goal of the drone research being conducted at the University of Twente is to study the applicability of modern robotics systems, imaging and control methods. Possible fields of application include inspection, maintenance, land exploration and disaster management.
