Techniques developed in our lab so far include model predictive static programming and its various variants, single network adaptive critic, optimal dynamic inversion, generalized dynamic inversion, neuro-adaptive design etc. Application areas in aerospace include guidance and control of missiles, spacecrafts, lunar-lander, aircrafts and UAVs. In bio-medicine, our focus has been computer-controlled automatic drug delivery using feedback control theory and also deciphering the control activities of human brain. The feedback drug delivery philosophy has been demonstrated to work well (from in-silico experiments) to effectively cure various cancer problems. An important current research focus is to develop an adaptive and customized artificial pancreas system for Type-1 diabetic patients. Other problems of interest to our lab include path planning and guidance of ground vehicles, vibration control, temperature control, process control etc[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_1″ _builder_version=”3.15″][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
