Research Group
Lifecycle:9 May 2014 → Today
Organisation profile:The Flanders Make AnSyMo/CoSys core lab has three researchpriorities:
1. Design andTesting for Cyber-Physical Systems: ensure that autonomously operating machines adhere to the appropriatesafety standards, focused on methods and tools for a cost-effective designprocess (profs. De Meulenaere, Denil, De Meyer, Vangheluwe)
2. Adaptive,Optimal Embedded Control: boost controlefficiency by integrating the use of available system models into the controldesign process (and sometimes) resulting controllers; (profs. Denil, Steckel,De Meulenaere)
3. Industrialsensing, signal processing and actuation; monitor moving machines to enable autonomous navigation (prof. Steckel)
There are a lot of touchpoints between thepriorities 1 and 2, and priorities 2 and 3.
