Smart structures: passive vibration control using F<sup>2</sup>MC tubes.

Advanced actuators: PSU LionFly, a flapping wing actuated by a PZT-5H bimorph actuator.

Developing model-based estimators and battery management systems.

Welcome to the Mechatronics Research Lab!

The Mechatronics Research Lab takes a multi-physics, model-based approach to control and design of mechatronic systems, specializing in modeling, control, and design.

We have published over 200 technical publications in this area with graduate students, post-docs, and collaborators. Our research has been supported by almost $20M in research funding from NSF, NIH, AFOSR, ONR, Army, DOE, DOC, and industry. Our research currently concentrates in three areas: Smart structures, advanced actuators, and battery systems engineering.
