The Systems and Control Laboratory of DIS (Dept. of Computer and Systems Science) directed by Prof. Salvatore Monaco, was established in 1995.

It's committement is the development and the experimental verification of new control strategies. Besides, several undergraduate students carry out their final project in the Lab.
The Systems and Control Laboratory is a focal point for studies of control and systems theory, control system design, with particular emphasis on aerospace and robotic systems.

As a component of the DIS and Faculty of Engineering, the laboratory has close association with the graduate and undergraduate students of the University. At any given time, several projects normally are in progress, with specific topics chosen by participating students in cooperation with the staff.

Principal computing resources include several personal computers for standard research activity, special-purpose computers and devices for real time control systems implementation, visual data acquisition equipment and a mobile robotic system (Robuter) is available for experimentation.

The main research topics are: attitude and configuration control and mobile robotics.
These research activities are mainly funded by ASI (Italian Space Agency), MIUR (Ministry of Education) and CNR (National Council of Research).
