IRC-ASE held an event on Feb 5 tiled “KFUPM-Quanser Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems”. The event was co-sponsored and funded by industry (Atlab and Quanser companies), and focused on introducing research/teaching equipment from Quanser to academicians from GCC and KFUPM. We have used these equipment related to control systems and autonomous programmable vehicles, and are trying to create a scientific regional community around these systems. Our guests were faculty and department heads from all over GCC (7 from Qatar, Kuwait and UAE; 20+ from KSA universities). Attendees received hands-on demos and networking meetings, and were very engaged and impressed. All expenses regarding guest accommodation, gifts, banners, etc. were from the companies, and the event was held in IRC-ASE’s new premises in the old consulate. The recorded sessions will also be published on our YouTube for KFUPM stakeholders. 

Highlights from the Event:

• Participants gained hands-on experience with advanced systems.

• Skills in control systems, robotics, and automation were enhanced.

• Experts from KFUPM and Quanser collaborated with attendees.

• The event fostered a community shaping the future of aviation and space exploration.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this workshop a success!
