Seminar: ACODUASIS

A step further automatic control design

The seminar is focused on the automatic control design of plants as considered at a European level by Universities, research centers and industries.

This seminar is linked to the “Introduction to EICASLAB” course, that consist of two days focused on the usage of the professional software tool EICASLAB.

Purpose

This meeting will present the results of ACODUASIS (Automatic Control Design Using Advanced Simulation Software – IPS-2001-42068), a project co-financed by the European Commission in the framework of the program “Promotion of innovation and encouragement of SME participation”. Thanks to this project, a sophisticated, innovative, powerful, and robust methodology for the automatic control design of plants developed by Prof. Francesco Donati (Polytechnic of Turin) and supported by the professional software tool EICASLAB has been transferred to European companies and universities working in the field of robotics.

Target

The new methodology appears to be of potential interest for all companies operating in the field of automation. In particular, it could be of great interest fot those SMEs active in the field of robotics, machine tools, and special machines, since it can offer a significant design cost reduction together with an improvement in terms of perfotmance.

Organization

The workshop has been organized by the Torino Wireless Foundation and the Chamber of commerce of Torino jointly with EICAS and with the sponsorship of Unioncamere Piemonte and the Polytechnic of Turin.

The event is organized by the Chamber of commerce of Torino in the framework of the activities undertaken through the European project ALPS Innovation Relay Centre.
