The Laboratory of Computational and Intelligence Automation conducts research on modular robotics and Intelligent Systems Modeling and Control. The research efforts place emphasis on manufacturing and automotive applications which involves design of modeling and control algorithms for flexible automation, autonomous systems and vehicles stability systems. Bioinformatics is also an area of research undertaken by Professor Melek and his team. This research involves clinical decision-support systems and non-convex optimization methods for scheduling clinical resources.
