Visible to the public The Impact of QoT on Estimation and Control

Inexpensive computation and ubiquitous embedded sensing, actuation, and communication provide tremendous opportunities for societal impact, but also great challenges in the design of networked control systems, because the traditional unity feedback loop that operates in continuous time or at a fixed sampling rate is not adequate when sensor data arrives from multiple sources, asynchronously, delayed, possibly corrupted, and -- especially important for this project -- the different entities that participate in the control system do not share a common clock.

Visible to the public Synergy: Verified Control of Cooperative Autonomous Vehicles

Verified control algorithms will be developed for the control of autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are used to perform increasingly complex tasks, safely and reliably, under changing environmental conditions. They promise to fundamentally transform our society in areas such as transportation, logistics, telecommunications, remote sensing and defense.

Visible to the public Sound Invariant Generation for Continuous and Hybrid Systems

Invariant generation is crucial to the success of rigorous deductive verification tools for cyber-physical system. We develop a dedicated invariant generation toolbox for the KeYmaera X theorem prover which combines many custom invariant generation methods under a unified framework. Additionally, we develop a generalization of the method of barrier certificates (vector barrier certificates), building on R. Bellman's work on vector Lyapunov functions.

Visible to the public Smart Wearables with Feedback Control

Recently there is an increasing availability of smart wearables including smart watches, bands, buttons and pendants. Many of these devices are part of human-in-the-loop Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). With future fundamental advances in the intersection of communications, control, and computation for these energy and resource limited devices, there is a great potential to revolutionize many CPS applications.
