SIC - Sistemes Intel·ligents de Control

 

El Grup de Recerca en Sistemes Intel·ligents de Control (SIC) és un grup multidisciplinari de professors de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) - Barcelona Tech dedicat a l'ampli món del control automàtic i la supervisió de sistemes.
L’objectiu principal del SIC és contribuir a la competitivitat de les nostres empreses i al coneixement científic i tècnic. Els investigadors del SIC descriuen els sistemes dinàmics mitjançant models matemàtics, analitzen dinàmicament el seu comportament en domini temporal i freqüencial, localitzen de forma òptima sensors, dissenyen sistemes de control avançats (controladors predictius, controladors intel·ligents, ...) i desenvolupen sistemes de supervisió que optimitzen criteris de funcionament sota diverses restriccions amb capacitat per predir, detectar i diagnosticar fallades i amb capacitat per crear mecanismes tolerants a possibles fallades en temps real dels sistemes complexos.
