Systems Control Lab
The advanced Systems Control Lab puts you at the forefront of robotics and control theory. Our interdisciplinary approach caters to a wide array of courses, covering foundational to advanced studies in robotic kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning and control strategies.
Our industrial-grade KUKA KR6 robots, celebrated for their precision and adaptability, form the core of our robotic infrastructure. These give you hands-on opportunities to apply your skills in robotics programming and experimentation to real-world scenarios.
Also, our inverted pendulum stations help you deepen your understanding of control theory. These stations are tailored to support a spectrum of control courses spanning from the second to fourth year, providing a practical setting for translating theoretical knowledge into practice.
