Advanced Dynamics, Robotics, and Control Laboratory (ADROCO)

Welcome to the Advanced Dynamics, Robotics, and Control (ADROCO) Laboratory specialized in developing control theories for a wide range of dynamical systems with memory or hereditary property.

Although our lab is young, it is with motivated members who want to solve different dynamics, control, and robotic problems.

ADROCO lab is mainly interested in projects related to

    • the dynamical and control problems correlated with nonlocal operators, such as delays, convolutions, fractional derivatives, partial derivatives, and functional operators

    • the decentralized nonlocal control protocols for cooperative multiagent systems with nonlocality

    • the design and prototype of robotic systems.

Drone Dynamics and Control (ME 592/492, MRE 492)

Drone dynamics and control will be offered next semester in MME, Spring 2021. In this course, we will introduce dynamics and control of modeling and coordinate transformations useful in all aspects of flight dynamic derivations. Laboratory exercises allow students to apply knowledge in simulating and controlling a quadcopter in MATLAB. In addition, they will use their knowledge on a real system, by programming a microcontroller to control a quadcopter.
