The
Department of Automatic Control at the Institute of Industrial
Automation
of the C.S.I.C. has, as a major goal, to carry out Research and
Technical Development regarding the analysis, design and synthesis of
automatic control systems. The main activities are focused on
theoretical research, on training of scientific personnel in the field
of automatic control and robotics (by means of Ph.D. and M.Sc. thesis
preparation), and on proposal preparation and the subsequent execution
of RTD projects that are significantly concentrated into solving the
problems that new generation robots are placing. The obtention of
pre-competitive RTD projects yields to a clear and sound promotion of
both medium-term and long-term research directions. In the present days
it can be considered that our research directions are grouped under the
following three: Control Theory; Robots for Hazardous Environments:
Specific Manipulators and Climbing&Walking Robots; and, Control
Systems for Electromechanical Drivers.
