Human Centered Engineering
Our journey began in 2010, driven by a passion for technology, innovation and solving complex, multi-disciplinary challenges. With a foundation in Systems Engineering, Drive & Control and Embedded Software, we recognized early on that the conventional solutions couldn’t deliver the freedom and adaptability we needed to serve clients across borders.
Our approach emphasizes Human-Centered Engineering—the idea that machines should not only function but also communicate, guide, and create an intuitive experience for users. The name "Vectioneer" reflects this vision, inspired by "vection," the sensation of movement created by visual cues. Just as vection bridges perception and reality, our goal is to craft systems that enhance human experience, making the technology almost feel like an extension of the user.
Meet the Team
Say hello to our team of engineers, each a master of their respective craft.
Since I was a small boy I was inspired by the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and maybe then I already knew that I shared a fascination for human-centered technology with him. To nurture this fascination I founded Vectioneer, a Mechatronics and Robotics company specialized in design and development of High-Tech Systems and Controls. Our projects range from Offshore Robotics, to Entertainment, to Aerospace, to Industrial Automation, to Toys for kids and Medical Equipment. This seems very broad, but it has a common focus: integrating technology with a human operator.
My vision is that the relationship between Technology and the Human should be like the relationship between a Horse and its Rider. They act like one, where the Human can focus on higher level tasks. whileTechnology, like the horse, takes care of things the human cannot do.

MOTORCORTEX
Control System
In the early years, Vectioneer primarily focused on developing control systems for Flight Simulation and later expanding into Robotic Controls. As we grew, we experimented with various commercial automation platforms but always faced constraints that limited our creativity and control. Determined to overcome these challenges, we embarked on a journey to develop a more modern embedded control system that joined technology from Industrial Automation with cutting-edge IT: Motorcortex.
Built on a very stable Linux foundation, Motorcortex embodies our principle of “Think: Possible,” allowing us and our clients greater freedom and customization in control systems. Designed to eliminate the limitations we encountered with other Industrial Automation solutions, Motorcortex provides the flexibility we sought, enabling us to approach every project with a fresh perspective and unrestricted potential.
Human-Centered Engineering
We believe that when designing machines and their control systems, the focus must always remain on the human that is interacting with the machine. Usability as well as Safety are key factors to be considered.
Advanced Motion Control
Using the Motorcortex Embedded Motion Control Software together with modern Machine Learning and AI techniques we can create advanced control systems for any application.
Model Based Systems Engineering
With our multidisciplinary team of experienced and highly skilled professionals we tackle complex challenges with precision and creativity. We rely on Modeling and Simulation (Digital Twin) to greatly accelerate the development process.
