Mechatronics

The goal of research and development is to create modern mechatronic systems that correspond to current trends in the automotive industry and help users in the entire range of benefits from comfort to crew safety. Development takes place from basic mechatronic systems through ADAS systems to autonomous driving, where modern tools are used, which are further expanded and innovated. The experience gained from the entire process included in the development V diagram enables the design of the system, sub-parts, code generation, component assembly, system integration and verification and creation of a vehicle prototype with the given system at a professional level. Current AI trends and its sub-components such as machine learning and deep learning are used in the development of control algorithms. From a testing perspective, computational models of a vehicle or device are developed so that cross-development testing can be performed using MIL – Model in the Loop, RCP – Rapid Control Prototyping, SIL – Software in the Loop, PIL – Processor in the Loop, HIL – Hardware in the Loop and VIL - Vehicle in the Loop. An integral part of the development is the design of the ECU hardware and associated testing either on vehicles or in the laboratory, software development for Unit tests, Unit under tests, etc., not only for cars but also for the aviation industry.

Research results from this area are continuously used to modernize study plans in bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies.
