The Automation and Control Institute (ACIN) is part of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, TU Wien. With more than 70 employees, our institute does basic research, solves challenging practical problems in a number of cooperative projects with industry, develops innovations, and gives students a profound research-oriented teaching in systems theory, mechatronics and control. The institute comprises the two major research areas advanced mechatronic systems and complex dynamical systems. We aim at applying the latest knowledge and advanced methods and technologies in our field of expertise to solve challenging practical problems. In our research, we always set a high priority on the combination of the development of new theoretical concepts and applied research. Our institute is research partner of a number of major international and national companies both within cooperative projects and in an advisory capacity. Since we are working across all industries in the field of digitalization and automation we not only have a deep basic scientific knowledge but also a broad users’ perspective. In our research-oriented teaching activities, we are responsible for the education and training of the students in the field of automation, modeling, systems theory and control engineering, measurement technology, mechatronic systems, process control, cognitive robotics, image processing, optimization and process identification supplemented by interdisciplinary lectures. In this context, particular attention is paid to provide a well-founded theoretical education and to offer the students the possibility to apply this knowledge to practical laboratory experiments by utilizing modern soft- and hardware tools.
