System software is essential in modern industrial control systems, and supports wide areas of applications including assembly, packaging, printing, and manufacturing. Such systems are usually composed of many different kinds of components including controllers, motor drives, and sensors, and, with the rapid advances of information technology, systematic software design is becoming increasingly important.

System software lab is collaborating with academia and industrial partners and conducting researches on  industrial informatics systems with a focus on real-time, system software. Research issues include, for example, open automation platform, machine learning, and precision motion control.
