Aim
Rethinking the structure of classic control systems and the metrics used to design them in order to cope with the complexity of modern applications. By modeling the problem as a dynamical system in feedback with an optimization algorithm (i.e. the system dynamics-optimizer plant), we increase the flexibility of the tasks the closed-loop system can accomplish while providing numerically viable solutions for real-time implementations.
Tools
We use principles from optimization theory for analysis and design of algorithms in combination with control theoretic tools to account for the dynamics and sequential decision making to capture alternative architectures, controller objectives, and uncertainty descriptions.
