CAST (Center of Advanced Systems & Technologies)

The Center of Advanced Systems and Technologies (CAST) was established in 2005. Known as one of the largest and the most dynamic engineering / research centers in Iran, the mission of CAST is to develop relations with industries and research centers in order to solve industrial challenges by bringing together researchers, experts, consultants and elite students. This mission has guided CAST in its programs of basic and applied research projects. CAST concentrates on product based methods and its direct support of college of Engineering, University of Tehran. CAST’s portfolios in various fields of expertise include smaller scope services as well as large projects.[1]

Portfolios

CAST(Center of Advanced Systems & Technologies)

Robotic Portfolio

The portfolio “Robotics, Intelligence and bio-inspired systems” is the first portfolio of Center of Advanced System & Technologies (CAST) established in 2007. Its mission is focused on presentation and marketing of novel solutions on design and implementation of Complex systems to broaden the border of feasibility. Control, mechatronics and machine intelligence founded the scope of this organization.

Some of its projects are:

Design and manufacture of first national humanoid SURENA in 3 phases [2]

Design and fabrication of bio-inspired flapping wing aerial vehicle

Design and fabrication of fish-inspired underwater robot

Design and implementation of hybrid motorcycle

Feasibility study, design and utilization of smart materials as integrated actuators in structures

Energy Portfolio

In 2008, CAST established Oil, Gas and Green Energy (OGGE) portfolio considering elite talents in academia and many cooperation potentials in the mentioned industries. In less than one year, we have accomplished our first industrial project in gas pipeline industry. Numerous opportunities in maintenance activities in oil and gas industry besides former successful cooperation experience led to define and implement many projects .

Structural Portfolio

Experimental modal analysis is a vibrational testing technique for determining the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios of a structure. Experimental modal analysis provides structural dynamics information for finite element model validation (correlation) and refinement, failure investigation, vibration troubleshooting and diagnostics, and quality assurance. CAST (Vibration group) has tasted steam turbines, gas turbines, pumps, blower, compressors, foundations, buildings, optics, piping, and many more structures.[3]
