High Performance Control

High-performance control focuses on designing and implementing control systems that achieve precise, efficient, and robust performance, particularly in complex or challenging environments. Current research emphasizes developing advanced algorithms, including machine learning models like deep neural networks and Markov random fields, to address challenges such as controlling systems governed by partial differential equations (e.g., wave dynamics) and coordinating multi-agent systems (e.g., drone swarms). These advancements are crucial for improving the capabilities of robotic systems, autonomous vehicles, and other applications requiring precise and responsive control, particularly under bandwidth constraints or in the presence of significant disturbances. The resulting improvements in control efficiency and robustness have significant implications across various engineering disciplines.
