The Intelligent Machines and Systems Laboratory (IMSL) at San Diego State University is engaged in research and teaching in several areas of machine intelligence. These include applications to robots and systems using techniques such as:

• Fuzzy logic
• Robotics and machine intelligence
• Neural networks
• Genetic and evolutionary algorithms
• Intelligent multi-agent systems
• Rough sets, data mining, and knowledge discovery methods
• Dynamic system stabilization

Recently, several sponsored research projects have been conducted in the laboratory. Among them are:

• Intelligent navigation and control of Mars rovers sponsored by NASA
• Genetic path planning of rovers sponsored by Lockheed-Martin
• Evaluation of computing performance of Compaq Alpha machines for robotic simulation visualization sponsored by Compaq
• Robotic person-following sponsored by the CSU Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity program

The laboratory also supports several computer science courses and Ph.D. and M.S. theses.
