THE LCM TECHNOLOGY MOTOR IS THE INTEGRATED RESEARCH CENTER FOR SYMBIOTIC MECHATRONICS
In order to ensure that we are always on the cutting edge, LCM is operating a COMET K2 center of excellence “Symbiotic Mechatronics.” This Comet K2 center is funded by the Federal Ministries for Digitization and the Environment and the State of Upper Austria. This funding enables LCM to undertake risky innovative projects with various partners at the intersection of science and business.
SYMBIOTIC MECHATRONICS
“Symbiotic Mechatronics is a novel paradigm for mechatronic systems that pursues the stimulation of mutual benefits from the interaction among “symbiosis partners” such as mechatronic systems, their elements, and their respective physical, digital, human and ambient environments.”
The Concept of Symbiotic Mechatronics
With the novel concept of Symbiotic Mechatronics, set out in 2018, we have expanded mechatronics towards new challenges emerging in and around classical mechatronics.
Driven by information and communications technology (ICT) and digitalization a virtual layer enbales the useful interaction between mechatronics systems and their respective environments, which can be physical, digital our human.
OUR RESEARCH AREAS:
ACT, MECON, SENS, SYMB
- ACT: Actuators as one of the core functions of every mechatronic system and the holistic design of complex systems.
- MECON: Complex mechatronic systems and their digital representations for regulation and optimization.
- SENS: Sensor systems as the eyes and ears as well as for merged data processing with a link to machine learning.
- SYMB: Trans-disciplinary context of mechatronics with its interfaces to humans, the environment, and the digital world.

Science becomes reality
LCM stands for the quick transfer of scientific findings into real-world industrial use. Our many years of cooperation with internationally renowned research partners ensures that the latest technologies are applied. Our top priorities are partnerships and the exchange of know-how from idea to finished product.
PROJECTS WITH INTERNATIONAL FUNDING
The team at LCM is highly experienced in the implementation of EU projects and other international undertakings. Some of the resulting products have already been successfully released on the market. We apply to the following national programs and structural funds:
ETP – JTIs – cPPPs – EIPs – ERANET – EIT (KICs) – HORIZON2020 – Art. 185-initiatives
