Systems, Controls, and Robotics
The systems, controls, and robotics (SCaR) research supergroup is focused on:
- Recognizing and developing research collaborations that address open research questions in the areas of systems, controls, and robotics
- Identifying and building courses that prepare students for careers in the field
- Creating an experimental testbed that will support undergraduate and graduate student groups, course instruction, and multidisciplinary research projects
The SCaR research portfolio spans a broad range of interdisciplinary research topics, including but not limited to transportation, biomechanics, energy systems, smart cities, manufacturing, and vibrations.
