The ISR-Lisbon is organized in several research groups, each one associatied with a specific scientific field.
Research Groups
 |
VisLab: Computer and Robot Vision Lab
The Computer Vision Laboratory - VisLab focuses on the research and development of tools based on computer vision, mostly for robotic applications. We are particularly interested in the problems of active vision, visual based control, motion analysis and segmentation.

DSOR: Dynamical Systems and Ocean Robotics Lab
The work carried out in the lab is directed towards furthering knowledge in the general area of dynamical systems theory and applying it to the design and operation of autonomous marine and aerial robots. Theoretical areas of research include navigation, guidance, and control (NGC), mission control, and cooperative control of distributed autonomous vehicles. Strong cooperation links are being steadily forged with marine research institutes worldwide as marine science and oceanography become increasingly dependent on advanced technologies for ocean exploration. The lab is currently involved in a number of multidisciplinary projects using advanced robotic systems that include the Infante autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), the Delfim autonomous surface craft (ASC), and the Caravela 2000 autonomous oceanographic vessel.

LaSEEB: Evolutionary Systems and Biomedical Engineering Lab
The two main areas of this group are: Bio-Inspired Algorithms (BIA) and Biomedical Engineering (Biomed). Solutions found in nature inspire the development of search and optimization algorithms as Swarm Optimization (SO) and Evolutionary Algorithms (EA); modelling and simulation methodologies as Artificial Life (ALife) and Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). Neurophysiologic signal and image processing and Bio-informatics are the main topics of Biomed topic. Human Cognitive states detection and classification as Wake, Sleep, Drowsiness and Stimulus Related Responses. Further development is the cross interaction of BIA and Biomed areas.

IRSGroup: Intelligent Robot and Systems Group
The research and development work carried out at the Intelligent Robots and Systems Laboratory (IRSLab) is wide in scope. Its members approach complex systems from a holistic standpoint, rather than focusing on some of the subsystems. The topic of cooperation (among agents and/or robots, among robots and humans) arises naturally from this viewpoint. The historic background of the lab senior researchers has lead us to use Artificial Intelligence concepts driven by formal approaches that stem from Systems and Control Theory and from Operations Research. We further believe it is very important to apply our methodologies to practical domains, as challenging real-life problems provide richer sources of inspiration.

SIPG: Signal and Image Processing Group
Research at the Signal and Image Processing Group (SIPG) focus on the development of fundamental theory for signal processing on manifolds, e.g., performance bounds, optimization algorithms, filtering, manifold learning. Application areas are: wireless communications, including blind equalization and source separation; underwater, including acoustic communications and video compression and analysis; time-frequency analysis; image analysis, including statistical modelling; and video processing, including motion estimation, tracking of deformable models and inference of 3D structure.

 |
SCTG: Systems and Control Theory Group
The ISR Systems and Control Theory Group conducts fundamental research in all aspects of mathematical analyses and design methodologies, including interdisciplinary research efforts, involving modern system-theoretic concepts. Current topics under investigation include: robust multivariable control synthesis, distributed and decentralized estimation and control systems, hybrid systems, adaptive control using multiple-model concepts and hierarchical systems. Recent interdisciplinary investigations relate to the modeling of the human immune system using hybrid system concepts and modeling of the human vision system using hierarchical estimation methodologies.
