Control Systems Theory Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab approaches control for the networked era from a theoretical standpoint, using data and probability.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on unsolved challenges with control theory.
The Control Systems Theory Lab studies the mathematical modeling of problems, the analysis of dynamics, the development of theory for designing control systems, and applications of that theory.
The lab tackles challenges that current control technology cannot solve, such as problems arising from large scale and networking, and quantum information processing technology.
A distinguishing feature is that the lab actively draws on advanced mathematics and on knowledge of probability, statistics, and machine learning as needed.
The lab is run jointly with the Applied Mathematical Modeling field (a collaborating unit).
Key terms
- System identification
- Building a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of a target from data measured on it
- Stochastic control
- Control that makes a system behave as desired in the presence of probabilistic uncertainty such as noise
- Model predictive control
- Control that uses a model to predict behavior a short time ahead and computes the optimal action at each moment
ResearchResearch themes
Centered on three interrelated directions, namely data-driven modeling, stochastic control theory, and networked control, the lab works on developing theory for systems and control and applying it in practice.
*Illustrative imageBuilding models from data
The lab has led the field of system identification, which builds mathematical models of dynamics from data. It also incorporates methods from statistical learning theory, such as deep learning, and explores the mathematical foundations for building models for control.
*Illustrative imageStochastic control under uncertainty
The lab studies stochastic control theory, which deals with dynamics under unavoidable uncertainty. It also works on the relationship with statistical learning theory, on analyses that incorporate rare events such as wind gusts in wind power generation, and on the control of quantum-mechanical dynamics.
*Illustrative imageControl that connects many systems
The lab studies control that lets many interacting subsystems, as in social systems, work well as a whole. It tackles challenges such as distributed decision making, limited communication and information, and large scale.
*Illustrative imageIdentification for model predictive control
Using deep learning to capture nonlinearity, the lab develops ways to build models with simple structures that can be used for real-time optimization, and verifies their practicality jointly with corporate research laboratories.
