On May 25, IAM students presented the results of the development of the Smart Eco Greenhouse VESNA: https://vesna.uiam.sk
The vertical project integrates students in the 2nd and 3rd years of the bachelor's study programme "Process Control". Students cooperated on the project in a teamwork setup of three teams dedicated to solving particular tasks.
Among other goals, students established effective communication using a cloud service, designed an autonomous control of temperature and lightening and developed the web-based remote control supporting a multi-language interface.
Except for scientific goals, the project develops students' soft skills such as teamwork, time- and task management, and presentation skills.

We are co-authors of a new article in the prestigious international scientific journal IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology:

Chaitanya Jugade - Deepak Ingole - Dayaram N. Sonawane - Michal Kvasnica - John Gustafson: A Memory Efficient FPGA Implementation of Offset-Free Explicit Model Predictive Controller

The paper investigates a reduction of the memory footprint necessary to store the explicit MPC controller implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).

On May 23, 2022, a workshop will be held in room A601 in cooperation with RU Bochum within the project Embedded Optimal Control supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The workshop is open to all participants.

STU will be the coordinator in the project "FosteRing OpportuNities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced conTrol for smart industries" (FrontSeat), which was supported under the Horizon Europe program, Twinning action. Principal investigator prof. Ing. Miroslav Fikar, DrSc. joined forces with other institutes in the field of Cybernetics at STU, submitted the project and succeeded in heavy international competition.

Atkinson - Levente Kovács - Andras Koltay - Norbert Kiss - Hojjat Adeli: Modeling the efficacy of different anti-angiogenic drugs on treatment of solid tumors using 3D computational modeling and machine learning

The paper investigates the simulation of tumor growth during chemotherapy using Machine Learning techniques. The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles to help share the current results.

We are authors of a new article in the prestigious international scientific journal Automatica:

Juraj Oravec - Martin Klaučo: Real-time tunable approximated explicit MPC

The paper presents an effective method of designing tunable approximated model predictive control. The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles for 50 days to help share the current results.

Our PhD student Michaela Horváthová was awarded the prestigious award "Student Personality of the Slovak Republic" in the academic year 2020/2021 in the category "Electrical engineering, industrial technologies". She was also awarded a special award "JCI-Slovakia Award for emphasis on ecology in the field". Congratulations!
