Unlocking Research Potential
Research at ICCS is heavily dependent upon excellent research infrastructure. We continuously invest in resources and improve facilities to ensure that researchers are able to pursue their ideas, transfer knowledge and undertake state of the art research with global impact. Our facilities, mainly based in the NTUA campus are ranging from UAVs, research vehicles and high-end development servers to well equipped lighting labs, 3D printers and biomedical simulations systems. We also collaborate with many other research institutions and universities to ensure our researchers have access to the very best facilities in the world. Facilities at ICCS include: Lighting Laboratory, Microprocessors Laboratory and Digital Systems Lab, High Voltage Laboratory, Computing Systems Laboratory, Biomedical Simulations and Imaging Laboratory, Photonics Communications Laboratory, Electric Energy Systems Laboratory, Driving Simulation Laboratory, CMSS Lab, Virtual Reality Lab, High-end development servers, Eye Tracking System, 5G Testbed, Research Vehicle, Mobile Sensor Platform, Mixed Domain Oscilloscope, UAVs- Octacopters, 3D printers, Wearable Devices
High Voltage Laboratory
The High Voltage Laboratory participates very actively in the whole spectrum of electrical tests and measurements and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and immunity tests/measurements, extending its scope of expertise beyond High Voltage applications to the field of certification and compliance of electric equipment with national and international standards. The Laboratory is equipped with modern, calibrated equipment that is traceable to the National and International Standards.
Lighting Laboratory
The Lighting Laboratory of ICCS is equipped with 3 goniophotometers, 3 integrating spheres, spectroradiometers, various illuminance, luminance and radiance meters, an ILMD, standard sources, photometric bench and various supportive equipment. The Laboratory has developed its own imaging system for luminance measurements of road and tunnels from a moving vehicle. It stands as the only photometry facility in country for both educational and research purposes.
Biomedical Simulations and Imaging Laboratory
The Laboratory is involved in research, mainly in the following areas: Diabetes & Obesity Management, Cardiovascular Diseases, Mobile Health, Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience, Smart Health Systems etc.
The main activities of Smart RUE focus in research and technology development in the area of Smart Grids. The main Smart RUE activities deal with planning and operation of modern power systems characterized by high penetration of renewable energy sources, distributed generation and flexible loads.
UAVs
UAV – Octacopter UAV (DJI S1000) with add-on vision and spectral sensors, integrated 3-axes stabilized gimbal, intelligent flight systems, live HD view, ground control station, communication and telemetry link for surveillance, identification and tracking applications, on board processing capabilities using embedded GPU.
Virtual Reality Lab
VR/AR lab/ equipment: Several head mounted displays, mobile VR system (Microsoft HoloLens, Vuzix M400 etc.), with active stereo, VR Powerwall with passive stereo and development tools (Unity3D, Lightning, Delta3D, VIRTOOLS, QUEST).
The Photonics Communications Research Laboratory was founded in September 1995 and currently undertakes research related to optical interconnects and telecommunications, digital signal processing, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design, and biophotonics/sensing.
CSL is one of the largest research laboratories in the Computer Science Division of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Its computing infrastructure comprises several SMP architectures and various PC linux clusters from off-the-shelf nodes with high performance interconnects (SCI, GbE, Myrinet).
Driving Simulator
The driving simulation laboratory of the I-SENSE Group is used for ergonomic studies of driving support and automation systems. The driving simulator is built in-house, using open source software (CARLA and AUTOWARE ROS). Currently it is fixed-base with one curved screen. The vision system is currently being upgraded to a three-screens one with an 150o field of view.
eInfrastructure
IT Infrastructure is comprised by numerous Server Rooms in multiply locations, Proxmox VM Host servers, active VMs , IT Production Servers, Dev VMs and Production Servers, Proxmox Backup Servers, Firewalls , File Servers, Webservers / 36 active and 40 obsolete Websites, handrends PCs and laptops.
