Research areas

Our research interests are focused on the following areas, which also are headings in the activity report.

System Identification

In system identification we cover a broad field from theoretical convergence aspects to software issues and industrial applications.

Nonlinear and Hybrid Systems

Here we are interested both in developing theory for nonlinear and hybrid systems and to understand and utilize how modern computer algebraic tools can be used for practical analysis and design.

Sensor Fusion

We are interested in both theoretical and practical aspects of how to merge information from signals of different kinds. The applications concern navigation, collision avoidance as well as target tracking.

Robotics

In cooperation with ABB we work both with supervison of robots and algorithms to improve the accuracy of the robot motion.

Optimization for Control and Signal Processing

The research in optimization for control and signal processing is currently focused on efficient optimization algorithms for model predictive control and for robustness analysis of control systems.
