Cure and care robotics in the USA

During a trip to the USA (Boston area, Baltimore area and Chicago), a Dutch delegation of robotics researchers and entrepreneurs discovered a lot of “interfaces” for R&D and business collaboration. Common interests include surgical robotics, robotic-assisted rehabilitation training of stroke survivors, and development of advanced prostheses. Based on the delegation’s impressions, this article offers a glimpse of cure and care robotics in the USA.

DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium 2026

The seventh edition of the DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium will take place on 8 October 2026. This year’s theme is ‘The opto-mechatronics of telescopes: from tiny to extremely large’.

DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
