CeDRI (Research Centre in Digitalization and Intelligent Robotics) is an inter-disciplinary research unit that clusters together researchers from Electronics, Computer Science and Mathematics to develop and apply scientific knowledge related to robotics, intelligent systems, and information and communication technologies in the scope of the digitalization and automation of industrial systems, contributing to the development of the scientific and technological system and promoting the competitiveness of the socioeconomic system. A special emphasis is devoted to regions of low population and economy density, characterized by small scale SMEs and a rarefied local industrial system, whose competitiveness is strongly affected by the difficulties to access industrial innovation.
The research and innovation topics are centered in industrial embedded and cyber-physical systems, intelligent systems and data analytics, intelligent and collaborative robotic systems, and modelling, simulation and optimization for decision support.
