Having been established only in 2002, the AID lab is a fledgeling new member among the others in the campus. Manned with a handful graduate students working in the intelligence related fields, the lab set his eyes in the relatively young field of AI, as well as well formulated fields of control and robotics. It is our intention to further our knowledge in the so-called areas, disseminate it and possibly establish close ties with the industry.

Currently, our research team focuses on industrial fault detection and condition monitoring, and distributed sensing for machine health. We have been able to characterize time series, as well as, diagnosis and prognosis of vibration signals by nonlinear means, such as Kolmogorov entropy, and fractal geometry. The purpose of this research group is to add supplementary information and a new perspective for condition monitoring which allows indicating the development of probable failure in machinery component or system, and that also predict failure occurrence.

Condition monitoring allows avoidable actions which performed before a failure happened. Although the most commonly used method for condition monitoring is vibration analysis, the field of condition monitoring is always open to the introduction of new techniques for machine fault diagnosis.

Prospective students, we invite you to become a member of our research team in one of the most interesting field at IzTech. We provide our students with excellent preparation for many projects in university and industry. We hope to expand our researches by interesting projects with your cooperation.
