2. INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND ROBOTICS Presentation of ISER-BAS
The INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND ROBOTICS (ISER) is one of the engineering institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).
On 1st July 2010 the General Assembly of BAS decided that the Central Laboratory of Mechatronics and Instrumentation (CLMI) and the Institute of Control and System Research (ICSR) shall merge to form a new institute, called:
“Institute of Systems Engineering and Robotics (ISER-BAS)”.

3. INSTITUTE OF SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND ROBOTICS - BAS
The ISER-BAS was founded on the basis of strict compliance with the recommendations of the European audit of BAS for merging the achievements of two highly evaluated BAS divisions:
the Institute of Control and System Research (ICSR)
the Central Laboratory for Mechatronics and Instrumentation (CLMI)
ISER has the potential to “strengthen its position as international (European) player and national leader” (from the Report of the International Evaluation Panel of BAS) in the areas of:
Specialized sensors, actuators and sensor systems based on novel principles
Mechatronics
Robotics
Energy systems and devices
Bioprocess control
System research for security, antiterrorism, defense and ecology.

5. Mission of THE INSTITUTE OF SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND ROBOTICS - BAS
The mission of ISER-BAS is the realization and development of interdisciplinary research in the areas of:
New designs of sensors and micro systems for no electrical quantities like magnetic field, temperature, pressure, radiation, etc.
Design of original systems for production of bio-fuel from renewable sources, alternative energy technologies
Service robots, unique devices, components and systems, mechatronics technology and telemetric systems.
Novel serial, parallel and hybrid manipulation systems have been synthesized.
Analyses of the kinematics, workspace, singularity and motion planning of robotic systems, behaviour and control of complex systems (mechatronics, energy and fluid systems) are significant research themes.
