The main objective of the Institute of Automation and Computer Science (IACS), FME, BUT is to advance research in automatization, digitization, artificial intelligence and the Industry 4.0 concept in general. This involves developing advanced methods in the field of technical diagnostics, machine vision, cyber-physical systems, digital twin and industrial robotics that align with the aforementioned Industry 4.0 concept. To verify research and development activities and ensure competitiveness, unique laboratories of cyber-physical systems, technical diagnostics, cybernetics and robotics were established within the institute.
In the field of Industry 4.0, including the subfields of artificial intelligence, digitization, robotics, and automation, priorities are focused on resolving complex tasks. The IACS primary focus is on fundamental research, which is subsequently transformed into applied research in collaboration with industrial partners. The institute engages in fundamental and applied research on the interconnection of artificial intelligence techniques, multidisciplinary modelling, optimization, advance sensing, digital twin and control of autonomous robotic systems, with a particular focus on the versatility, adaptability, and scalability necessary to accommodate wide range of industrial applications.
The primary objectives of academic staff are:
One of the institute's most successful projects was the implementation of a unique solution for robotic handling of potentially infectious samples as part of the Czech Rise Up 2.0 program. The robotic workplace underwent rigorous testing over a period of more than two months in the laboratory of the Center of Molecular Biology and Gene Therapy, Department of Internal Medicine – Hematology and Oncology at the University Hospital Brno.
Seven names of representatives of the Brno University of Technology were announced on 16 June during the ceremony of handing over appointment decrees to new professors at the Karolinum in Prague.
The Werner von Siemens Prize for the Best Doctoral Thesis Dealing with the Topics of the Industry 4.0 Concept was awarded to Roman Parák.
This 24-hour competition focused on robotics and machine vision took place on 13-14 March at ABB Mošnov.
His bachelor thesis, which has already garnered numerous successes, deals with the design and implementation of a small low-cost robot based on the industrial concept SCARA.
Researcher Zdeněk Hadaš reflects on the importance of multidisciplinarity, openness to new ideas and innovative thinking.
Tomáš Janoušek is a master's student of the Applied Computer Science and Control.
The representative samples created in this way will then be used by experts from the Julius Kühn Institute for further research.
Having the "Highly Cited Paper" label next to your scientific article means great prestige in the scientific community.
