Welcome to the
Intelligent Servosystems Laboratory

The primary goal of this laboratory is to advance the state-of-the-art in design and real-time control of smart systems. Drawing on advances in novel sensing and actuation materials and mechanism designs; in new principles for actuation, propulsion, detection, reduction, learning and adaptation; and in conceptualizing and prototyping across scales to sense, actuate, communicate and control, our research looks at the stability of interconnected mechanical systems and symmetry principle in nonlinear control theory.
More recently, we have looked in to intelligent control architectures for complex systems and collectives inspired in part by biological paradigms. These include central pattern generators and space maps associated to auditory and other sensory modalities; learning binaurally directed movement; sensorimotor feedback in echo-locating bats; the dynamics and control of flocking and swarming formations; pursuit-capture phenomena of predator-prey behavior; and evolutionary game theoretic basis for strategies of pursuit.
