Robotics, control systems & cyber-physical research
Academic research in robotics, control systems, and cyber-physical integration.
The Robotics, Automatic Control & Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory (RCCL) is a research unit at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA), conducting fundamental and applied research in robotics, autonomous systems, control theory, and cyber-physical system design. RCCL bridges theoretical computer science and electrical engineering with real-world system deployment. As an Institutional member, RCCL contributes academic research depth to the Pleiades innovation ecosystem.
Connect with MemberRCCL conducts research into autonomous robotic systems, multi-agent coordination, control algorithms, and the design of cyber-physical systems that integrate computational intelligence with physical processes. The Lab's work spans from theoretical foundations — including formal modelling and verification of autonomous behaviour — to applied prototype development for industrial, environmental, and urban applications.
The Lab has expertise in IoT-integrated control systems, drone autonomy, and sensor-actuator networks — making their research directly applicable to smart city infrastructure, intelligent transportation, and automated environmental monitoring. RCCL provides ecosystem partners with access to academic research talent, experimental testbeds, and the broader scientific community through the University of Athens.
