Advanced Control Theory and Applications Lab
The Advanced Control Theory and Applications Lab in ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ University’s College of Engineering is involved in research on stability and control of nonlinear dynamical systems, particularly control of:
- Large-scale interconnected systems
- Cooperative control for multiagent systems
- Hierarchical nonlinear switching control
- Hybrid and impulsive control for nonlinear systems
- System thermodynamics
- Thermodynamic modeling of mechanical and aerospace systems
- Nonlinear analysis and control of biological and physiological systems
The laboratory is equipped with several experimental platforms for verification of our theoretical findings.
Recent research on multi-vehicle coordination supported by the Office of Naval Research and NAVSEA allowed us to explore several approaches to cooperative control design, including finite-time coordination and design of hybrid control architectures. In addition, the laboratory conducts multi-discipline research in emerging areas, including:
- Analysis and control of biological systems
- System-theoretic characterization of chemical reaction networks
- Thermodynamics of large-scale systems
The lab is directed by Dr. Sergey G. Nersesov, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
