Welcome to CSRL

The interdepartmental Control Systems & Robotics Laboratory (CSRL) is a partnership of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the School of Engineering of the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), and promotes research, development, and education activities in the areas of control systems, robotics, automation and mechatronics.

The Control Systems and Robotics Laboratory (CSRL) of the Hellenic Mediterranean University is located at Heraklion in Crete and supports the following research and educational activities:

(a) Design and development of robotic and mechatronic systems with emphasis on applications in industrial, manufacturing, and agricultural production,

(b) Theoretical study and practical implementation of automatic control systems,

(c) Design of industrial automation, remote control and telemetry systems,

(d) Research on advanced and intelligent robotic systems, in areas such as precision agriculture, underwater robots, biomimetics, soft robots, biomechanics, machine vision, and dexterous manipulation.

CSRL also focuses on the development of experimental devices and specialized software to enhance the educational processes and to promote the subjects of Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automatic Control to HMU students.
