The cooperative networks and controls lab (Connect Lab) explores problems
related to the coordination and control of multi-agent systems. Our
scientific approach is to explore how the mathematical field of graph theory
can interface with dynamic systems and control theory in the study of these
systems. We are currently focused on three core projects: i) analysis and
design of networked systems, ii) formation control and multi-robot
coordination, and iii) distributed power generation and the smart-grid. We
focus on fundamental theory while also exploring implementation
challenges.
