Systems become increasingly complex and interconnected. They need to react autonomously to changes and disturbances. Control and systems theory is an enabling technology towards the analysis, safe operation and interoperation of such systems .
The research of my group aims towards the development of theoretical sound control methods for intelligent, safe interconnected autonomous systems operating in dynamically changing environments.
The developed approaches are based on methods from
-
model predictive control and optimal control
-
machine learning
-
uncertainty quantification
-
and optimization.
Special focus is layed on
-
the fusion of control and learning with guarantees
-
network-controlled/cyberphysical systems ensuring modularity, resilience, and plug and play operation
-
the control of mechatronic and robotic systems
The method developments are motivated and applied to challenging engineering and technological questions spanning from the field of mechatronics, robotics, medical engineering, energy systems, cyber-physical systems, autonomous driving, to synthetic biology, biotechnology and process control.
