AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS

The main tasks of the Center for Electromagnetic Fields Engineering and High-Frequency Techniques (CEFE&HFT) include basic and applied research in the field of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) waves (radio, microwave, terahertz, and infrared bands) and in EM field engineering, including magnetism, the interaction of strong fields, and magnetization dynamics and the accompanying thermal phenomena.

The company achievements include developing NAVDEC navigational decision support system, the world’s first navigational tool to perform information functions and those typical of decision support systems. Its innovative functionalities, significantly extending the performance of devices generally carried by ships, have been a subject of patent at home and internationally (patent no EP2504719). NAVDEC was commercialized both on merchant and navy market.

Department of Marine Automation consists of highly qualified academic staff with experience in cooperation with the industry.
The staff has expertise in automation and robotics, particularly in the area of advanced automatic control algorithms for different kind of objects and/or processes.
The proposed control design methods and techniques include:
•    nonlinear, robust and adaptive control;
•    optimal control;
•    intelligent systems (neuro and fuzzy techniques);
•    observers and state estimation (e.g. Kalman filter)
