The area of advanced computing has as main objective theoretical study and practical implementation of several techniques of computational intelligence to engineering problems. Over the past years, the group has contributed significantly to the improvement of paradigms of advanced computing such as are neural networks (NN) and genetic algorithms (GA) through numerous scientific works and doctoral theses, as well as its application of several engineering problems.
Among the most prominent works in this area include the implementation of the RNA to the management of electrical power and water systems, forecasting of temporal series and robotic.
At present, the group is working in the application of these techniques to autonomous mobile systems, the modeling of dynamical systems and to the realization of measurements of very high precision of power energy under non-sinusoidal conditions.
