About MARC
The research profile Mälardalen University Automation Research Center (MARC) is dedicated to advancing digitalisation and automation in industry through a comprehensive approach involving multiple research areas and industrial partnerships. The expected scientific achievements include the development of innovative solutions in portable and smart automation, robotics and control, as well as digital infrastructure. These advancements will enable significantly enhanced production flexibility, responsiveness, and sustainability, aligning with the vision of creating a leading research and education environment.
MARC Overall Objective
To enhance the level of digitalization and automation in the industry by addressing three major challenges:
(1) Improving the flexibility of automation systems and solutions
(2) Advancing the application and automation of robotics and control
(3) Strengthening digital infrastructures.
We will bring together academic and industrial experts, providing a unique opportunity for tangible impacts on academic and industrial practices.
Research Areas
In MARC the research at Mälardalen University (MDU) will capitalise on synergies primarily between the two research environments Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Innovation and Product Realisation (IPR), and provide a solid base for junior researchers to grow into future research leaders. Combined with industrial partnerships, this aligns with the mission to combine research excellence with industrial relevance, emphasising co-production with external partners.
