News in Brief

TU attracts high tech activity Owee – 1.5 million for human robot – TU attracts high tech activityOwee . .Ontvangstweek (Owee) was held this week. 1,550 students starting the regular five-year courses in September were introduced to the TU campus and student life, a few dozen less then last year.

The number of new first-year students, however, has increased compared to last year. 1930 Students have notified the student information centre in Groningen that they plan to study in Delft, compared to 1902 last year.

1.5 million for human robot

Only one of financier NWO’s 53 research grants was awarded to TU Delft. The TU’s grant winner, Richard van der Linde, proposed to create robots that function like humans, with a sort of skeleton and artificial muscles. “These robots should be able to interact more safely and naturally with humans,” he says. In November Van der Linde will earn his PhD. degree in robot leg research. Carrying out his new NWO research proposal will be difficult, however, because Van der Linde no longer works at the TU and very much likes his present job at FCS Control Systems, where he works on robots that give people physical therapy. His ideal would be a combination of this job and the TU, because, he says, “university researchers develop more innovative robots.”

Research done by two scientists at Technology and Management shows that technical universities attract all sorts of

high-tech business. Gerben van der Panne and Dr. Wilfred Dolfsma arrived at this conclusion after analysing entire series of statistic data. Non-university scientific institutes, like research departments of large companies, attract the most high tech business, general universities attract no business, and the five big technological institutes in the Netherlands actually have a negative attraction rating.
