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.
This summer semester, the Lab Course Mechatronic Systems took place again. A quadcopter was used as the basis, and students designed a mechanism to pick up water from a base station and drop it over a target identified by a camera.
The student group, supported by us together with the Chair of Res...
Tim Goller, Julian Kißkalt, and Fadi Snobar were attending this year’s European Control Conference (ECC) in Stockholm from 25 – 28 June. They presented their papers and enjoyed conference life by listening to interesting presentations, meeting other control engineers, and having inspiring discussion...
Since January, Philipp Santer has strengthened our team at the Chair as a new research assistant. As part of the KARMA joint research project, Philipp will be working on the development of intelligent motion prediction models and predictive collision avoidance methods in the field of human-robot int...
