The CRIM (Center of Research In Microengineering) is the new name of MiTech Lab (Microfabrication Technology Laboratory), which was established at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in 1991. At present the CRIM has about 25 full time researchers possessing interdisciplinary expertise. The mission of CRIM is to investigate, design and develop microcomponents, microsystems and micromachines for medical and biochemical applications using innovative microfabrication technologies.

Our research focus on the topics of computer vision and robotics. The Computer Vision and Active Perception Laboratory (CVAP) is part of the School of Computer Science and Communications (CSC ) at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS) is a research centre at the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm. The centre does research in (semi-) autonomous systems including mobile robot systems for manufacturing and domestic applications. The centre was inaugurated 1. August 1996.

Center for Robotics and Embedded Systems (CRES) was established in fall 2002. It is an interdisciplinary organized research unit (ORU) in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering that focuses on the science and technology of effective, robust, and scalable robotic systems, with broad and far-reaching applications. CRES facilitates interdisciplinary interactions and collaboration through its robotics faculty and its large team of interdisciplinary affiliates and serves as a linch pin for strategic research areas at USC. CRES projects span the areas of service, humanoid, distributed, reconfigurable, space, and nano robotics and impact a broad spectrum of applications, including assistance, training and rehabilitation, education, environmental monitoring and cleanup, emergency response, homeland security, and entertainment. The Center provides a tight-knit foundation for collaboration and opportunities for education and outreach.

The ARTS Lab, founded in 1989 by Prof. Paolo Dario with the aim of developing research in the field of advanced robotics is the first research lab created at Sant’Anna in the Experimental Sciences Department.
The ARTS Lab conducts theoretical and experimental research on robotics and bioengineering, along with applied research and technological innovation, particularly in the biomedical field.

The Applied Computer Science Group at Bielefeld University is carrying out inter-disciplinary research in different fields of pattern recognition and analysis. The research areas investigated are computer vision, speech recognition and understanding, cognitive systems, human-machine interaction, and bioinformatics. The group consists of more than 30 researchers, who are mainly supported by external funds.
