About ACIS

ACIS builds control, robotics, AI, and automation methods for systems that have to work beyond controlled environments: robots, aerial platforms, manufacturing cells, and infrastructure equipment.

ACIS Laboratories combine theory with hardware experiments, sensing, and validation with external partners, including cases where models, measurements, or operating conditions are uncertain.
