Mechatronics Innovation Lab Information

Our mission is to increase the competitiveness of norwegian industry through the use and understanding of new technology. Through involvement and funding from the private sector and the government, MIL has built up Norway's largest and most intense techlab. This collaboration between industry, academia, and the public sector has made MIL a technologically advanced hub of international standard. MIL offers technology, testing equipment, and expertise for innovation in mechatronics, focusing on robotics, sensor technology, artificial intelligence, and industrial 3D printing. As a partner in the Future Materials catapult, we participate with equipment and expertise in material development. Mechatronics Innovation Lab AS (MIL) is part of the national infrastructure for innovation, pilot testing, and experimental development of industrial products, systems, and services for introduction to the market. Through these capacities, MIL can help reduce costs and risks for large and small businesses, as well as the public sector, in relation to innovation and technological development.. We operate across three core areas: - Innovation and development (R&D, proof of concept, prototyping) - Technology adoption (test-before-invest, advisory services, and competence development) - Infrastructure and leasing (laboratory facilities, equipment, and capacity) Our core technologies include: Robotics · Artificial Intelligence · Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) – often applied in combination.
