Centre for Control and Signal Processing

Imagine flying a drone and wishing it would stay at a certain altitude, though sometimes it just goes too high or too low. For this aircraft to move flawlessly, there is a controller (the so-called PID controller) that automatically takes information from the drone, checks it and returns it to the device so that the drone stays at the right altitude. This solution, applied in navigation, cars, aeroplanes and the entire industry, was developed more than 100 years ago.

What does the Centre do?

In this Centre, we deal with the analysis and development of process control and signal processing algorithms, focusing on their use in factory automation, as well as the application of artificial intelligence. We also study neural networks and deep learning for shape recognition, and their application is reflected in the detection of defective products in production, recognition of traffic signs, autonomous driving, and automatic control in industry. Fields in which the research results of the Centre for Industrial Automation and Signal Processing are applied include thermoenergetics and the vehicle, chemical and process industries.
