GALCIT Colloquium

The talk will describe ongoing research at the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems, Control, and Optimization (ASCO) at JHU related to planning and control of robotic vehicles. Our main motivation is the development of autonomous robotic systems capable of operating with agility and robustness in their natural environments. Our research focuses on analytical and computational methods at the intersection of dynamical systems and control, planning and optimization, and machine learning, and on the real-time implementation and integration of these methods in robotic embedded systems. Current application areas include the development of autonomous aerospace and ground vehicles, and computational tools for control and optimization of multi-body mechanical systems.
