In a world where technology is developing at breakneck speed, Breda Robotics plays a key role in stimulating new technological applications within sectors such as healthcare, industry, logistics, and agrofood. Under the banner of New Technology, projects are set up in which companies, knowledge institutions, and societal organisations collaborate on smart solutions for urgent challenges.
What do we understand by New Technology?
New Technology refers to the development and application of advanced technologies such as robotics, sensor technology, AI, data analysis, and automation. These technologies are not only tested in laboratories but are actually applied in practice – in healthcare institutions, production halls, on farms, and in logistics chains.
Practical and people-oriented
The power of New Technology lies in the combination of technical innovation and societal relevance. For example, the project revolving around the autonomous toilet transfer is working on a solution that helps the elderly to live independently for longer. In this project, parties such as Breda Robotics, Delmeco, Groenhuysen, and Avans University of Applied Sciences are collaborating on a demonstrator that will be tested with real users in healthcare practice.
Collaboration as a driving force
New technology projects are supported by a broad network of partners. Breda Robotics acts as a field lab and driving force, while companies contribute technical expertise and educational institutions provide research and talent development. This triple helix approach ensures acceleration of innovation and sustainable implementation in practice.
From idea to impact
Every project within New Technology follows a structured path: from exploration and feasibility studies to development, testing, and scaling up. Attention is paid to technical feasibility, market opportunities, user experience, and societal added value. The projects yield not only new products, but also insights, collaborations, and knowledge that are widely applicable.
“It's wonderful to see how new robotic technologies are being used to tackle societal challenges, and how this leads to fresh collaborations between partners in the region.”
