Research

Established in 1999, the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology at the 糖心原创 is a multi-disciplinary research team, which explores key aspects of aerospace manufacture. Our group has a particular interest in the areas of manufacturing technology, fixturing and on-wing inspection, as well as robotic systems for in-situ repair.

The partnership also facilitates the growth of engineers in the academic community as they are confronted with “real world” challenges and can therefore better understand industry priorities.

Robotics for In-situ Repair

Robotic systems for in-situ repair is one of the research areas for UTC team. We focuses on developing fundamentally novel, miniaturised robotic systems...

Mechatronics

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary strand that focuses on the synergistic integration of mechanical, electronic, and electrical engineering systems.

Advanced Manufacturing Processes

The University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing has a good capability on advanced manufacturing technologies such as conventional machining, waterjet milling/cutting...

Innovative fixturing and tooling

Fixtures and tools are critical manufacturing items in every process as they construct the bridge between the workpiece and the tool that will perform the operation.

Sensing and Inspection

Sensing and Inspection is a multidisciplinary research strand focused on developing intelligent technologies for measuring, monitoring and assessing components in complex manufacturing and maintenance environments...
