Shanghai University has been selected as a comprehensive university under the key construction of China's "Project 211." lt is a university co-constructed by the Ministry of Education and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. Additionally, it is among the first pilot universities for the construction of high-level local universities in Shanghai and a university designated by the Ministry of Education for the development of first-class disciplines. The Depart.ment of Automation at Shanghai University has formed distinctive features in the modeling and simulation of livingsystems, intelligent and networked advanced control theory and system implementation. The anthropomorphicmachine learning and machine vision technologies studied by this department are applied to the field of high-speedbottle cap detection, and the detection speed is at the international leading level. Significant progress has been madein the research of facial expression recognition based on deep learning, and the relevant results can still achieve goodgeneralization performance in complex scenes such as variable target direction, different scales, and chaotic texturesIn terms of medical research, a stroke rehabilitation training system based on brain-computer interface has beendeveloped, which presents the characteristics of humanized interface, modular algorithm and high online recognitionrate, which is of great significance for the promotion and application of brain-computer interface technology.

 The above research has supported the engineering discipline of Shanghai University to enter the top 1% of ES!

global rankings.
