2 EICAS Automazione: who we are An overview EICAS was established in 1984 by a group of professors of the Politecnico di Torino and industrial researchers led by Prof. Francesco Donati with the aim to set-up a company excelling in complex system management and control area. Services Design of digital automatic control and innovative and customised solutions for the automation Development of control algorithm, real-time software and rapid control prototyping techniques Training courses on EICAS control design methodology and EICASLAB technology EICAS is proud of more than 25 years of relevant applications in the most various automation sectors Products EICASLAB ( the professional software suite for automatic control design and forecasting EICASLAB Rapid Control Prototyping multi-core PC platform (Intel Software Partner)

3 FP7 ERSEC Enhanced Road Safety by integrating Egnos-Galileo data with on-board Control system Precise vehicle localisation Our experience in design Automotive : DRIVE-BY-COMPUTER INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM (research developed for Centro Ricerche Fiat) 1999: ACC (research developed for Centro Ricerche Fiat) 2000-at present: PASSIVE AND ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS car modelling and simulation steer/brake/throttle-by-wire integrated control system (models): longitudinal controls: brake and traction lateral control: 2WS-4WS+brake control roll and suspension control integrated control performance assessment by simulator auto-diagnosis and system dependability: sensors, actuators and processors redundancy, FDIR algorithms, fault injection and dependability assessment on simulator. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) algorithms & related data processing CHAMELEON IST : Data Fusion & Crash Prediction Algorithm for timely activate the passive safety systems COLLISION AVOIDANCE AND MITIGATION ALGORITHMS to avoid or, at least, to mitigate the predicted collision by means of an active safety assistance given to the driver, by automatic action on car brakes. MECCANO "Mobilità urbana Eco-compatibile attraverso un Commuter Configurabile A uso esclusivo/non esclusivo running Collision avoidance prototype for the new urban concept car

4 Our experience in design Space : HIPPARCOS MISSION It was developed an innovative methodology for attitude determination of space vehicles, based only on star measurements, used for reconstructing on ground the attitude of the Hipparcos satellite. The average precision, during the whole mission (about three years) was 40 milliarcsec, the best one ever achieved before today: AUTONOMOUS ATTITUDE DETERMINATION GYROLESS FROM STARS ESA CONTRACTS European Space Agency : SETIS: Stellar and Extended Target Intelligent Sensor : AST: Autonomous Star Tracker On the basis of the Hipparcos experience a methodology has been developed for autonomous attitude determination of space vehicles, on board, only through star measurements. A prototype system with one optical head, has been tested with full success on board of the SAC-C Argentinean Satellite, launched on November A system working with three optical heads has been developed as a part of the ESA Contract MHS2. On ground applications have been derived from the multicamera concept (ARFLEX project) : MHS2: Miniaturized Multiple Head High Rate Star Sensor : APLT+AMTS: Active Pointing of Large Telescope & Attitude Measurement Transfer Systems

5 Our experience in design Industrial Automation -Robotics OPTICAL MULTI-CAMERA MEASURING SYSTEM FOR THE CONTACT-LESS MEASUREMENT OF MOVING RIGID BODIES Optical multi-camera measuring system for contact-less measurement of the pose (position and attitude, corresponding to 6 degrees of freedom) of a set of movable bodies within a predefined camera field of view. The system has the following characteristics: low-cost camera use "Plug & Play" functionality auto-adaptability to operate in presence of changing environmental conditions high dependability sampling frequency 100 Hz high accuracy in the order of 1 /10,000 (0.01%) of full scale
