The Institute


Group D'Andrea

Enlarged view: Cubli

Work in Prof. D’Andrea’s group is focused on the creation of systems that leverage technological innovations, scientific principles, advanced mathematics, algorithms, and the art of design in unprecedented ways, with an emphasis on advanced motion control. Testbeds include novel, high performance flying machines, and dynamic sculptures. Main research areas are the design and control of multi-agent systems, adaptation, and machine learning. Read more

Prof. Onder's group pursues a model-based approach to the analyis, the optimization and the control of thermotronic and medical systems. Engine and vehicle propulsion systems are the focus of the majority of the research projects. Close contact with academic and industrial partners helps to remain focused on relevant topics, while well-established testing infrastructures serve to validate theoretical concepts and methodologies. Finally, the group benefits from the inclusion of highly-engaged students in the research process. Read more


Group Zeilinger

Enlarged view: Human Machine Interaction

When safety is critical, control systems are traditionally designed to act in isolated, clearly specified environments, or to be conservative against the unknown. The goal of research in Prof. Zeilinger's group it to make high performance control available for safety-critical systems that act in varying, uncertain environments, and which are potentially large-scale, composed of numerous interconnected subsystems, and, most importantly, involve human interaction.

Group Frazzoli

Autonomous Mobility

Prof. Frazzoli's group leverages modeling and control to design algorithms for smart transportation, vehicles and complex systems. Focusing on the formalization of mathematical understanding of robotic systems and their relationship to society, we investigate autonomous vehicles and mobility-on-demand that promise to revolutionize urban landscapes. The vision of autonomous driving builds upon developments in mathematical modeling, advanced motion control, distributed systems and machine learning. Bringing these innovations to life, we operate on a diverse set of autonomous vehicle testbeds. Read more
