DTU Electrical Engineering 7
Our Automation and Control group’s field of research and teaching is
within methods and technologies for control and supervision of technical
systems. At present, there are many areas of application such as robotics,
autonomous vehicles, industrial systems and processes, marine vehi-cles,
drones as well as playware. The competences of the group include
modelling and control of systems with discrete or continuous dynamics,
fault-tolerant control and diagnosis, sensor fusion, applications of agents,
knowledge-based systems in automation and decision-support systems
for plant-wide diagnosis. The approach taken is a systems approach to
analysis, design and synthesis on automated systems and the focus is on
theory and methods to increase availability, reliability and safety of indus-trial
systems and processes.
Part of AUT activities is the cross-disciplinary Center for Playware which
focuses on showing how playful aspects of robotics and interactive
technology may provide motivation for any citizen to perform different
kinds of interaction. The combination of modern artificial intelligence,
modular robotics and entertainment provide novel opportunities in play,
rehabilitation, sport, music, teaching, etc. We run diverse state-of-the-art
laboratories to facilitate an interdisciplinary research effort. Mobile
robots and robot arms are available and used in research projects with
industry and teaching.
