Research Interests

Our group is working on cyber-physical & human systems, interconnected systems of mutually interacting cyber, physical and human components, for a variety of large-scale systems including networked robotics/mobility and aggregated building energy management systems. In particular, we study in an effort to work out fundamental principles to coordinate human/society and highly-networked control systems to ensure optimality and robustness via distributed decision-makings. Besides theory-oriented work, we are also addressing social implementation of networked robotics through interdisciplinary collaborative research projects, and developing cyber-physical campus/traffic simulators capable of implementing real-time feedback.

    1. Cyber-Physical Human-Robotic Systems (CPHRS)
    2. Cyber-Physical Energy Management Systems (CPEMS)
    3. Cyber-Physical Networked Mobility Systems (CPNMS)
    4. Distributed Optimization/Game/Learning
