Design of rotating machines and mechatronic systems – Mechatronics Lab

The aim of the research group is to study and develop mechatronic systems for automotive electrification, magnetic bearings and rotating machines,

The active research fields are:

  • Active and regenerative shock absorbers
  • Active magnetic bearings
  • AI based battery modeling and monitoring
  • Autonomous driving and AI for automotive
  • Electric and hybrid powertrains
  • Electrodynamic bearings
  • Mechatronic systems for mountain safety
  • Rotordynamics
  • Vehicle dynamics and vehicle architectures
  • Vibration and motion control

The approach followed in each research field starts from the multidomain modelling of the system and ends with the design, construction and experimental characterization of laboratory prototypes. The attention devoted to the construction of prototypes is considered mandatory for the experimental validation of the analytical and numerical results.

The research activities are funded by European Collaborative Projects, Regional and National project and by direct contracts with companies involved in the field of Automotive, Aerospace and production plants.
