The lab is a control theory lab that designs control from data.
AboutAbout the lab
Pursuing control that grasps the motion of objects mathematically and manipulates it freely
The Kaneko Lab studies "control," which observes the motion of things and phenomena and breathes life into them.
Established in 2016, it is a control theory lab that focuses on data-driven control, industrial applications, and modeling.
The lab has no high-performance robots or expensive experimental equipment, but it always conducts research with an attitude of pursuing the essence.
Key terms
- Data-driven control
- A control approach that updates and designs controllers directly from data.
- Mathematical model
- A mathematical expression of the laws governing the motion of an object. In control, it is obtained first and then used to design a controller.
- FRIT and ERIT
- Data-driven control methods that originated in this lab. They find a desirable controller from a small amount of data.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the theory and applications of control that grasps the motion of objects mathematically and manipulates it freely. It works on control that uses data directly, the relationship between models and specifications, problems in real industry, and control in various mathematical systems.
*Illustrative imageTheory and Applications of Data-Driven Control
Obtaining a mathematical model that describes the motion of an object takes time and cost. The lab therefore studies data-driven control, which designs controllers directly from data, in both theory and application. FRIT and ERIT are methods that originated in this lab.
*Illustrative imageThe Relationship Among Models, Control, and Specifications
Controller design involves three interrelated elements: the specification of what one wants to achieve, the model, and the control. When the result is undesirable, it is unclear which of them is the cause. The lab investigates these interrelations on the basis of data.
*Illustrative imageControl That Tackles Real Industrial Problems
Real problems come with real-world obstacles such as uncertainty, nonlinearity, time variation, limits of actuators and sensors, and demanding specifications. The lab aims to overcome these and build control methods that are truly useful.
*Illustrative imageControl in Various Mathematical Systems
The lab considers systems not only over the real numbers and the four arithmetic operations, but also with modular arithmetic as used in cryptography, finite fields for codes, max-plus algebra for scheduling problems, and abelian groups for control with finite values. This research has only just begun, as a new perspective needed for integration with computer science and information science.
