Systems Control and Flight Dynamics

Mission

To develop new methods and new tools for identification, optimization and automation, intended to predict and control the dynamic behavior of vehicles and systems.

Areas of expertise

The work covers:

flight dynamics and identification
system control
control and decision making
human factors

The department's favorite area of activity is the aerospace sector but its research applies equally well to submarines and surface vessels, to self-sufficient or remote controlled robotic systems, to large land traffic or air traffic control systems.
