About Us
In 2016, Delta partnered with the National Research Foundation (NRF) to launch the Delta-NTU Corporate Laboratory. Our mission in Phase 1 was to improve and streamline industry processes and enhance learning technologies by integrating computation, networking, and physical processes, also known as cyber-physical systems. The focus was on Smart Manufacturing and Smart Learning, both of which were aimed at addressing manufacturing issues and developing innovative solutions.
The Delta-NTU Corporate Laboratory for Advanced Robotics has now entered the second phase, building on the research outcomes of the Delta-NTU Phase 1 Corporate Lab. This new phase focuses on the development of the key technologies for next-generation Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) for urban building intralogistics applications. The key technologies include smart gripping and manipulation technology for material handling and sensing, situation awareness, and real-time decision-making technology for material transportation in a highly dynamic environment.
The Delta-NTU Corporate Laboratory's key technology development not only lays the foundation for next-generation AMR but also creates new business opportunities for the company. By complementing Delta’s existing businesses in Industrial Automation, Building Automation, Logistic Automation, and Healthcare, Delta can offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to its customers, further expanding its market reach and strengthening its position as a leading provider of automation solutions.
The research conducted at the Delta-NTU Corporate Laboratory has been beneficial not only to Delta but also Singapore as a whole. The development of next-generation AMR serves to address the growing labour shortage in the country and facilitates the training of local talent in robotic technologies, contributing to the sustainable development of the nation's workforce. Additionally, the lab's research has equipped local start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with new technologies, enabling them to better serve their customers and stay competitive in the automation industry.
