This lab is used to  primarily conduct research on anomaly detection and classification using model-based and data-driven methods,  particular with robotics and mechatronics systems to perform fault diagnosis and to enhance automation and reliability, including Digital Twinning and Industry 4.0 applications.

Uses & Capabilities

This equipment could be used for:

Research and teaching in the fields of robotics and mechatronics systems, control theory, digital twinning, additive and advanced manufacturing, rapid prototyping, non-destructive testing (NDT) using ultrasonic testing (UT), etc. Furthermore, these activities will be supported by other tied-in facilities available at Ulster such as the Dell Bright Cluster HPC and Digital Twin System, which consists of the following components:

1 PowerEdge R6525 Head Node

3 PowerEdge R6525 Compute Node

1 PowerEdge R750 GPU Node

1 PowerEdge R6515 SDP Node
