The Power Systems Laboratory uses digital acquisition hardware and virtual instrumentation software to investigate electric machines and power electronics.
The Robotics Laboratory presents facilities and supports research and development in applied robotics systems. Facilities include experimental robot testbeds, machine vision system, and various of sensors and actuators.
The Data Acquisition and Control Laboratory extends the theory into practice in digital control applications.
The Precision Agriculture Laboratory develops and tests prototype and full-scale precision agricultural equipment and systems.
The Measurement and Control Pilot Plant (under development) provides a realistic industry setting for process research, development and education. Presently we have a distillation process and are planning for a double-effect evaporator.
The Modular Control Systems Laboratory consists of seven Unix workstations which are networked to a number of real-time computer systems and instrumentation. The test stands currently include the Ball on Beam, the Magnetically Leviated Sphere, the Cart and Pole, the Wedge Balancer, the Inverted T and the Rotary Inverted Pendulum.
The Bioinformatics Laboratory is interested in theoretical and applied research rooted on general system and control theories with the objective to improve the process of harvesting user-specific determined genetic information, from large and structurally diversified databases containing genetic information (genomics).
The Intelligent Systems and Control Laboratory
investigates various intelligent control algorithms applicable to structural
vibration suppression, noise cancellation and machinery predictive diagnosis.
