Tanaka Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab controls complex systems with mathematics and tests its methods by flying unmanned aerial vehicles.
AboutAbout the lab
Skillfully control ultra-complex systems and aim for ultra-smart flight.
The Tanaka Lab studies methods for controlling complex nonlinear systems using mathematics.
The lab develops nonlinear control theory based on fuzzy models and tests it by flying unmanned aerial vehicles.
Experiments are conducted at Hokkaido Spaceport in Taiki Town, Hokkaido, using flying-wing, powered paraglider-type, and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles.
The lab's website is mainly in English, but it states that the lab is not specifically looking for students who are good at English.
Key terms
- Nonlinear control
- A field that uses mathematics to control complex systems that cannot be described by simple proportional relationships
- Fuzzy model-based nonlinear control
- A method that models nonlinear systems with fuzzy logic, which handles vagueness, and designs controllers based on those models
- Flying wing
- A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle with no tail. It is highly efficient in flight but very difficult to control
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops mathematical methods for controlling complex nonlinear systems effectively and tests them in actual flights of unmanned aerial vehicles. It pursues nonlinear control theory based on fuzzy models together with flight experiments in Hokkaido.
*Illustrative imageControl of Complex Nonlinear Systems
The lab studies methods for skillfully controlling complex nonlinear systems. It presents control and analysis methods based on the sum-of-squares framework, and demonstrates their usefulness on well-known benchmark design examples and real systems.
*Illustrative imageControl and Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The lab conducts flight experiments in Taiki Town, Hokkaido, using flying-wing, powered paraglider-type, and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles. For flying wings, which have no tail and are difficult to control, it works on problems such as control for following a specified path.
