Systems Control
It comprises research and development in modeling, analysis, simulation and control of dynamic systems, both from a theoretical and application point of view.
Some disciplines currently covered in this area are virtual sensors, fault diagnosis and detection, control and supervision software, robust adaptive control techniques (linear and nolinear), nonlinear predictive control, classical and adaptive fractional-order control, modeling and control based on fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary algorithms.
Within the field of applications, efforts are oriented towards mining processes, wine industry, intelligent instrumentation in the wine industry and medicine, generation plants based on renewable energies, lithium batteries, autonomous vehicles, electric drives and dynamic transportation systems.
