Multibody mechanical systems as well as systems with smart structures, system with magnetorheological, magnetostrictive or other smart material-based actuators, sensors, and controllers for active technology development.

Transport:

Vibrations and noise control, adaptive and active suspensions and mounting systems imbedded into vehicles, machines and mechanisms to enhance safety, comfort and energy efficiency.

Energy:

Energy-optimal control of dynamic systems, mechanical power transmission systems, wind power systems, smart material-based power harvesting from vibration for self-powered sensor clusters, vibration control and condition monitoring systems.

Robotics and Bioengineering:  

Parallel robots, locomotion systems, intelligent prostheses.
