Research Equipment      Research Highlights

Our major research interests include control, modeling, estimation, optimization, diagnosis, and AI for dynamical systems, especially for ground vehicles, robotics, manufacturing, energy storage, human-centric automation, cyber-physical, and mechatronic systems. Our research endeavors aim to improve the efficiency, safety, environmental friendliness, human acceptance and trust of such intelligent systems.
