Control, Intelligent Systems & Robotics
Research in the CISR group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) can be split into three tracks which are all multiple and cross disciplinary; Control, Intelligent Systems and Robotics. Due to the multi-faceted nature of these areas, the group has attracted collaboration from a wide and diverse range of industrial companies and research institutions, both locally and abroad, in applications including but not limited to manufacturing, automation, health science, transport, build environment, financial analysis and other service sectors. The group has set up a joint laboratory with Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) in precision motion control systems which actively conducts research in high-speed precision motion control and energy-efficient manufacturing systems, with interests in projects relating to micro-machining, precision metrology, precision geometrical and thermal compensation, fault tolerant control and accommodation, predictive analytics.
