About EISLAB

EISLAB is (building) a world-leading group in the fast growing area of embedded internet systems. EISLAB is a world-class academic centre, with equal emphasis on education, research and industrial interaction. The unique quality of EISLAB is the coordinated effort all the way from basic sensor and communications development to supporting the development of marketed products. By working side-by-side through the value chain, the 13 faculty, 33 PhD students and other staff interacts and are focused at the same goals: extremely small and energy efficient units for sensor systems, data processing and wireless communication. These units are enabling new generations of technology for industry, society and peoples homes. EISLAB is today supporting industrial development within robotics, health care technology, energy efficiency systems and industrial measurement and control.

EISLAB is designed to support the new society and industry forming worldwide. Whether you say “Ambient Internet” or “The Internet of things”, it all points to the same phenomena: the world is now getting closely connected through wireless communication and the internet. Everything and everyone is in contact with everything else, all the time. EISLAB facilitates this development.

To make full use of the growing network, the world also needs an efficient programming and modeling language. EISLAB has taken the lead in developing the Timber language, a design tool for embedded real-time software. The large and fully attenuated EMC laboratory at EISLAB is an important resource for research in embedded systems, as well as a major resource for the electronic industry in northern Europe. EISLAB is also the home of the wireless sensor networking platform Mulle.

EISLAB has four research areas: Sensor Systems, Mixed mode design, Embedded Systems and EIS Architecture.

Research projects

The largest single project, ESIS, is supported by EU structural funds.

Examples of research projects at EISLAB:

New sensor and control systems for process industries (pulp and paper, mining, steel)
Innovations for increased safety and integrity for the elderly and disabled.
Better navigation systems for cars, trucks and wheel chairs.
Advanced technology for car testing (CASTT).
Sensors and communication systems for intelligent roads.
Systems for remote health care (CMTF) Development and testing of new automotive technology.

EISLAB is contributing to industry and companies in their efforts in developing new and profitable products. This is achieved by channeling research results to the companies own research and development organisations.
