Systems and control theory and its applications Modeling, estimation, and control of largescale networked systems

Dynamical systems arising in various engineering problems in modern society are getting increasingly huge and complex, and exhibit a large-scale network structure consisting of a number of sub-systems. Examples of such systems are power grids, sensor networks, formations of mobile vehicles, etc. Mathematical model-based methodologies are essential to guarantee stability and high performance of large-scale networked control systems under various constraints. Against this background, we conduct research and education on systems and control engineering aiming at the development of practical and expansible methods for modeling, estimation, and control of largescale networked systems. Our research interests include robust design of networked control systems, synchronization of sensors or electro-mechanical systems, formation control of mobile vehicles, etc.
