From 27 to 29 January 2016 at the headquarters of B&R in Eggelsberg meet together representatives of Slovak universities and a representation of B&R company.

On Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 14:00 in room no. 641 prof. Morten Hovd from NTNU Trondheim will deliver a seminar on "Sum of squares programming for discrete-time non-linear systems - with application to power converters".

The Mechatronics group at the Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (www.merl.com), located in Cambridge (MA), USA has opened a number of intern positions for Spring/Summer 2016 in the area of dynamical systems and controls.

Ján Drgoňa, Michal Kvasnica, Juraj Oravec a Bálint Takács represented our institute at prestigious IEEE conferencei CDC (Conference on Decision and Control) in Osaka, Los Angeles, 15-18.12.2015 with papers:

• Kvasnica, M. – Takács, B. – Holaza, J. – Di Cairano, S.: On Region-Free Explicit Model Predictive Control
• Oravec, J. – Bakošová, M.: Robust MPC Based on Nominal System Optimization and Weighted Control Input Saturation

The program to support excellent teams of young researchers of STU in Bratislava has supported also the project of IIEAM FCFT submitted by Ing. Juraj Oravec, PhD., Ing. Juraj Holaza, Ing. Martin Jelemenský, and Ing. Bálint Takács. 

On Tuesday 13th Octobre our DICSes, TMAs and TWAs students visited 21st International trade fair of electrical engineering, electronics, energy and telecommunications ELOSYS 2015 in the exhibition area EXPO CENTER Trenčín.

invites you to another free seminar PROMOTIC. At this meeting you will get first touch with forthcoming technical innovations in the system. Participants are also awaiting introduced a new version of the PROMOTIC which brings new functionality and system enhancements.

Due to limited capacity of lecture space I suggest early bird registration.

At the NMPC 2015 (5th IFAC Nonlinear Model Predictive Control) conference, which took place in Seville, Spain between September 17 and 20, 2015, we have presented the paper Ingole, D. – Kvasnica, M.: FPGA Implementation of Explicit Model Predictive Control for Closed Loop Control of Depth of Anesthesia.

The institute publication:
