History

The Development Club is one of the clusters of the Federation of Technology Branches in the Netherlands, FHI, within the branch industrial electronics. It is a network of approximately 45 technology companies working on product development in the field of electronics, mechatronics, embedded software and industrial design. The Development Club is the source of the idea to set up a co-operation where scientific research will be carried out, by and for the member companies. This eventually led to the foundation in 2004 of DevLab, Development Laboratories.

Research domains

The DevLab research agenda currently contains 4 focus areas:

  • sensor network technology (MyriaNed)
  • independent energy supply
  • embedded communication
  • advanced micro actuators
  • These areas are captured into a number of projects DevLab is leading or participating in.
