Current Research Interests

  • Adaptive Control This area has been in focus since 1984, both with respect to research and teaching. New fields such as neural networks, sensor fusion, simultanous identification and estimation have been active lately.The Adaptive Blockset for Simulink is also a new action here.
  • Computer Aided Control Engineering Advanced MATLAB user/developer since 1985. Simulink and toolbox user/developer for many years. Co-developer of SLLAB, a MATLAB look-a-like in mid-80'ies. In 1987 part of a cross-departemental project in CACE on DTU. Since 1989 active in the CACE community publishing at both IEEE and IFAC CACSD events. Project coordinator and initiator of the development ofMechatronic Simulink Library for Simulink.The Adaptive Blockset for Simulink is also a new action here. At the moment looking into more complete and integrated solutions for simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid controller prototyping and on-line visualisation.
  • Vision-based Automation and Control This work started in the 1990 with the demonstration project of automating the famous Brio labyrinth game and has since then developed into a well-established field of expertice. Examples are checkers playing robot and visual navigation of AGV's
  • Control of Robots and Autonomous Systems is a part of the work in experimental robotic done at IAU. Work is done with autonomous vehicles on land, sea and airborne. Information technology (IT) and system integration is the main focus area.
