The Chair of Automatic Control (Lehrstuhl für Regelungstechnik) at FAU is part of the Department Electrical Engineering (EEI) of the Faculty of Engineering.
Our research activities focus on the analysis, modeling, control, and optimization of dynamical systems with applications ranging from mechatronics and robotics to process control and energy related applications. We have a long-time experience with bringing research into practice and maintain close and successful cooperations with industrial partners. We are responsible for the education in control engineering within the bachelor and master programs at FAU and therefore also cross the bridge towards the other departments of the Faculty of Engineering.
Maximilian Pierer von Esch attended the IEEE American Control Conference (ACC 2025), held from July 8 to July 10 in Denver, Colorado. He presented his paper titled “Asynchronous Sensitivity-Based Distributed Control for Nonlinear Systems,” which explores how to accelerate large-scale optimization us...
On June 27, our former student Eva Nistler was awarded the “Hanns-Voith-Stiftungspreis 2025” in the “Digitalization” category for her outstanding master thesis “Experimental Validation of a sensitivity-based DMPC algorithm”. The award ceremony took place in Heidenheim.
We sincerely thank the organi...
Klaus Löhe, Johannes Reinhard, Niklas Petrasch, Sebastian Kallabis and Knut Graichen have received the Best Paper Award 2025 of the AIST (Association for Iron & Steel Technology) Committee in the Hot Sheet Rolling category for their work “Work Roll Speed Drop Compensation for Hot Strip Mills red...
Rutvik Virani, Shukrullo Nazirjonov, and Sunny George are the students behind the latest team project in Autonomy Technology. Over the past six months, they have designed and implemented a human-robot interaction system for our four-legged robot, Spot. Thanks to their work, Spot can now autonomously...
In the research project “OXO-LOHC: Autotherme und ultratiefe Wasserstoff-Freisetzung aus LOHC-Systemen”, two innovative approaches are being investigated to significantly increase the efficiency of hydrogen release from liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems. This project is led by the Helmh...
