The Intelligent Systems Laboratory [ISL] was established in 1997 by Professor Wen-Chung Chang for experimental and theoretical research in intelligent control systems.
We have a nicely equipped laboratory with a meeting room that houses experimental research in vision, robotics, and control. A fleet of robots includes a Mitsubishi six-axis robot arm equipped with a stereo vision system, a two-camera system mounted on pan-tilt heads, and tactile sensors. The six-axis position and force-controlled arm is controllable from a Pentium II workstation.
ISL has a Sun Ultra 1 workstation along with a number of PCs and laser printers on a dedicated network. A state-of-the-art MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation package is available for off-line and real-time image processing and control. In addition ISL has a variety of software packages for image processing, object tracking, and robot control.
