  12. GOALS OF LAB • To advance the state-of-the-art in design and real-time control of smart systems, drawing on advances in • Novel sensing and actuation materials and mechanism designs • New principles for actuation, propulsion, detection, reduction, learning and adaptation • Conceptualizing and prototyping across scales, to sense, actuate, communicate and control

  13. RESEARCH & EDUCATION The lab as a facility for education and training • Education and training of some 30 M.S. students and 34 Ph.D. students since 1986, all of whom had participated in some significant way in the lab through experimental and computational investigations in addition to engaging in theoretical investigations.

  14. RESEARCH & EDUCATION The lab as a facility for education and training • Involvement of undergraduates and high school students in the lab through REU programs and Young Scholar programs, continually, over the past 14 years.

  15. ROLE IN ISR Focus on • research in problems of interaction of physical systems with software systems • mobile robots with on-the-fly motion planning algorithms • integrated approach to the design and control of smart systems • biologically inspired approaches to sensory processing and motion control

  16. ROLE IN ISR Focus on • research in the science of controllable materials • hysteresis from first principles • nonlinearity in adaptive optics • A facility for research in real time control prototyping • dSPACE

  17. LINKAGES Neuroscience Wireless Robotics Smart System Noise & Sensors Intelligent Control Signal Processing Smart Power MEMS Modeling & Optimization Materials

  18. CURRENT PROJECTS • Robotics (serial, parallel, mobile, small, …) • GPS-enhanced robotics • Smart materials, devices and systems (CDCSS) • Hysteresis • Actuator arrays for adaptive optics (CDCSS and ARL)

  19. CURRENT PROJECTS • Smart manufacturing (NG, NSF) • Understand Si epitaxy, Si-Ge epitaxy via CFD • Process Control • Links with biology (LIS, CAAR, NACS) • Learning and intelligence • Robotic barn-owl
