About the lab

The Industry 5.0 and Intelligent Systems Laboratory, in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Tehran College of Engineering, was founded to develop applications of smart digital transformation and Industry 5.0 across industries.

Why this lab?

Given the importance of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the need to develop Industry 5.0 technologies nationally across government bodies and organizations, the Industry 5.0 and Intelligent Systems Laboratory was established. Its core question: how can these technologies transform different parts of business and society — and what should the implementation roadmap look like given the maturity of Iranian organizations?

In the lab, students at different levels learn new technologies through research projects, then work alongside more experienced members to solve real problems or develop needed products and services. The lab's experts visit industries on site and run joint working sessions to identify challenges and propose practical solutions based on smart-transformation and Industry 5.0 technologies — solutions that are then delivered jointly with other labs and research centers.

Vision
“Truly turning science into technology and wealth”

Two dimensions of our work

01

Foresight and R&D

Research in digital transformation, AI, business intelligence and other technologies emerging from Industry 5.0.

02

Demand-driven work

Making these technologies usable in the country's industrial and service organizations and defining joint applied projects — up to establishing innovation centers for digital transformation, AI or Industry 5.0.

Goals
