- Simulation and Modeling of Dynamic Systems
-
The AE SCA-LAB is interested in the modeling and simulation of various
dynamic systems in various fidelities.
- Control Theory and Applications
-
The AE SCA-LAB is involved in the research of the various advanced
control systems, including adaptive control, robust control, neural network
based adaptive control, fault tolerant control, etc.
- Helicopter Dynamics and Control
-
A heavy workload of the AE SCA-LAB is to investigate the dynamics of
rotorcraft and apply advanced control techniques for its autopilot designs.
The strong existing simulation effort is in various fidelity levels and
allows students and researchers to test various simulation and modeling
ideas.
- Satellite Dynamics and Control
-
Satellite Dynamics and Control is one of the major areas of
research. Various projects involved many researchers. One of the first
funded projects the lab received was in Satellite Technologies.
- Unmanned and Intelligent Aerial
Vehicles
-
Advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle design are closely related to
its autonomy, hence to the development of advanced controller technologies.
The AE SCA-LAB dedicates a considerable amount of its workforce to the
design and development of control systems (often understood as autopilots)
and its avionics hardware.
- Carefree Maneuvering
-
Carefree Maneuvering is a new term describing the ability to allow
pilots to fly the aircraft without worrying about its envelope limits.
Various pilot cues or controller techniques can be designed into the system
to reduce pilot workload.
