iSSRt is a State of Florida Type II center whose mission is to lead the way in innovating and propagating information and intelligent systems (unmanned systems, computer vision, intelligent networks, sensors and perception, protocols and team processes) for the unique needs of homeland security and defense. iSSRt is unique in its commitment to the entire R&D cycle of basic research, industry transfer through its NSF industry consortium, and field evaluation. Over 14 USF faculty are involved from three USF campuses (Tampa, St. Pete, Lakeland). iSSRt actively partners with other USF centers and universities to promote true multi-disciplinary work.

The Parasol laboratory is a focal point for research related to next-generation high-performance computing languages and systems and for the development of algorithms and applications that exploit these to solve computation and/or data intensive applications. Due to its application-centric focus, the Parasol Lab creates a uniquely favorable environment for multidisciplinary collaboration between systems and application developers.

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.

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.

Research topic of the laboratory includes humanoid robots, dynamics-based information processing, human figures, and medical robotics.
