Visible to the public Design and Control of High-performance Provably-safe Autonomy-enabled Dynamic Transportation

Autonomy-enabled transportation networks are rapidly becoming a prominent Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) application area with tremendous potential for societal impact, as the autonomous systems technology penetrates into aerial/road vehicles and as the concept of connected vehicles emerge. The potential opportunities are not gone unnoticed. For example, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based delivery networks has already attracted innovative companies like Amazon, Google, and Matternet.

Visible to the public Compositionality for Cyber-Physical Systems Poster.pdf

The presentation materials cover results obtained for the two above-mentioned projects. The poster presents material on an algebraic approach to modeling systems with both continuous and discrete behavior. The framework is based on process algebra, which was developed for discrete systems, and features the development of a tree-based semantic model, called generalized synchronization trees, that uniformly captures a very general notions of time.

Visible to the public Cyber-physical Digital Microfluidics based on Active Matrix Electrowetting Technology- Software-programmable High-density Pixel

Start Date: September 1, 2011
The goal of this project is to integrate digital microfluidics systems with thin-film photodetectors in the top plate to realize biochemical target sensing using fluorescence. System control, adaptation, and reconfiguration through software will lead to a general-purpose lab-on-chip computing platform, in the same way as programmable computing devices allow multifunctional capabilities via software on a hardware platform. This level of integration, decision, and controlled reconfigurability will be a significant step forward in clinical diagnostics.

Visible to the public Mutually Stabilized Correction in Physical Demonstration Poster.pdf

How much should a person be allowed to interact with a controlled machine? If that machine
is easily destabilized, and if the controller operating it is essential to its operation, the answer may be that
the person should not be allowed any control authority at all. Using a combination of techniques coming
from machine learning, optimal control, and formal verification, the proposed work focuses on a computable
notion of trust that allows the embedded system to assess the safety of instruction.

Visible to the public Event-triggered Control for Nonlinear Systems with Time-Varying Input Delay poster.pdf

The overarching project goal is to advance the design of opportunistic state-triggered aperiodic controllers for networked cyber-physical systems. This poster considers the problem of event-triggered control design for cyberphysical systems with nonlinear dynamics under time-varying input delays.
