About us

About SAM XL:
Accelerator of innovation

SAM XL was founded in 2018 as an expertise centre for Smart Advanced Manufacturing with the aid of XL robotics, hence our name: SAM XL. We maximize the synergy between skilled professionals and intelligent manufacturing systems. Our aim is to form the bridge between TU Delft scientists’ fundamental research and the industry’s needs. Our pragmatic approach to achieve this: small steps, big impact.

Facilities

SAM XL is located on the TU Delft campus, close to the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Our facility is a 2000 m² research lab, with different robot cells and automation labs. SAM XL brings you at the centre of the vibrant Delft start-up community and the talented student body of Delft University of Technology, The Hague University of Applied Sciences and InHolland.

Robots

Our entire collection of robots is not only top of the range, but also capable of communicating with the outside world. They cover a wide range of payloads and ranges and all have the ability to output real-time data for monitoring purposes. Equipped with models and sensors capable of real-time, high-speed, path and task planning.

Ideally suitable for developing, demonstrating and validating Artificial Intelligence for the manufacturing industry. We use both the robot’s own programming software as well as the ROS industrial middleware platform to put our intelligent manufacturing systems into motion.
