BEGIN:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Center for Systems and Control (CSC@USC) and Ming Hsieh Institute for Electrical Engineering DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrzej Banaszuk, Andrew Sparks, and Fu Lin, United Technologies Research Center Talk Title: Systems and Control Research at United Technologies Research Center Abstract: This presentation will give a broad overview of research at UTRC's Systems Department, with particular focus on the areas of autonomous and intelligent systems, robotics, and control of complex systems. The research is conducted by a diverse team of researchers in dynamical systems, advanced control, applied mathematics, and human factors. Autonomous and intelligent systems research for aerial and ground robotics includes intelligent system architecture, human-machine systems, perception, collaborative motion planning with dynamic collision avoidance, manipulation, and formal verification. Research for large-scale, complex, and interconnected systems includes systematic methods to functionally decompose complex, interconnected systems to inform control architecture as well as approaches to sparse and distributed control. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of existing and future career and internship opportunities in the broad area of autonomous and intelligent systems, controls, and robotics.
