Systems and Control Laboratory

Systems and Control Laboratory (SCL) is one of the biggest research team of Computer and Automation Research Institute, SZTAKI and one of the leading international research groups in robust control and model based fault detection and diagnosis. Over the past years the Systems and Control Laboratory has grown to be the national centre in the research of systems and control theory and also in its industrial applications in computer controlled and software enabled systems. The scope of activity in the laboratory is to include forefront research in specific fields of the disciplines including topics that are traditionally related to successful R&D activities of SZTAKI such as system theory, system identification and robust control, advanced signal processing, fault tolerant and dependable systems, process systems and control. These are extended with some of the new emerging theoretical and application approaches inspired by progresses in information technology and smart instrumentations. These results achieved in the past years became known both to the national and the international community gaining reputations to the Laboratory. Besides research and applications, the Laboratory has served as a graduate and post-graduate center for teaching modern and postmodern signals, systems and control theory in a closed collaboration with the three Hungarian Universities.

Description

The main fields of activity of the laboratory can be summarized as follows:

• Signal processing
• Modelling and system identification
• Theory of nonlinear systems
• Robust control
• Dependable and fault tolerant control systems
• Process control systems
