Smart robotics development centre

Welcome to SAM XL. This is where smart robots take on large-scale structures. Think of aircraft sections, ship parts, entire frames  and robots that know exactly what to do. Robots that see, move, decide. Autonomously. Smart. Ready for complex, high-precision work.

Smart robots working together

How will we build tomorrow’s aircraft, ships, bridges? How will we spot defects and fix them swiftly? With robots that work together. Some are fixed. Others move freely. Together, they form a team that never slows down.

And that future? We’re building it now. We develop software and hardware tailored to your challenge. We connect the TU Delft faculties, the manufacturing industry and technology suppliers. This is where ideas come alive and smart solutions become reality.

Pioneering in projects

We build our own software, create our own hardware, and fuse technologies together. That’s how we make robots smarter… ready for tomorrow’s production processes. We contribute to major national and European projects, working alongside leading tech partners and top researchers.

Curious to see what we achieve? We’re happy to show you.

Automation is crucial

You want to stay ahead and outpace your competition. Automation is the key ingredient.

We know the world of complex robotic solutions from the inside out. Building, maintaining and repairing large structures: this is exactly where smart robots excel. But setting up an automated production line still requires time, investment and perseverance.

Therefore, you need a partner who understands this landscape. An expert in flexible and autonomous robotics. We’re ready to support you… and we’re looking forward to push the boundaries of what you believe is possible.
