Control

The team control has existed for more than 20 years of research and development activity, its research program addresses the issue of robust control of robots through the proposal of control strategies based on new generations of homogeneous controllers that are both continuous and robust and provide high performance within a specified time, despite uncertainties and disturbances. In addition, the goal is to propose control strategies while taking into consideration the environment in which the robot evolves (dynamic constraints). Optimal control is also one of the issues in this research team, whose concern is to develop robust and optimal control algorithms that minimize the energy consumption of the robot and reduce the mission time on  robotic systems that are manipulator robots (rigid and flexible) or mobile robots (AGV and UGV).
