Adding a "brain" to engineering systems

In the research area known as Intelligent Systems and Control, faculty and students find unique ways to add intelligence to engineering systems. By integrating information technology with structural engineering and actuation/locomotion, machines can begin to respond to changes in their environment in the same way that people and animals do.

The Intelligent Systems research group looks into challenging issues in various areas, including driving assistance systems using situation awareness, and vehicle overriding controllers. Other areas include vibration control, embedded computer control, control and automation for sustainable energy systems and design of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for humanoid robots.
