Introduction

IAS-Lab stands for Intelligent Autonomous Systems Laboratory and it is one of the 28 laboratories of the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua.

The activity at IAS-Lab concerns the study of several fields of Robotics. Our research cover the areas of computer vision, humanoids and wheeled robot programming, virtual simulation, biomechanical model based on human biosignal and wearable robots design for rehabilitation purposes.
