Intelligent Energy Management System for Charging of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles at a Municipal Parking Deck, 08/08 – 07/10
There is a need to address potential problems due to the emergence of technologies that will affect the utility industry in a time horizon of less than 20 years. One such technology is the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV); the emergence of these vehicles in the...
Predictive Constrained Gain Scheduling for UGV Path Tracking Control with Network Delay
In this project a predictive gain scheduler for robot path tracking control in a networked control system with variable delay is being developed. The controller uses the plant model to predict future position and find the amount of travel possible with the global path...
Intelligent Human-Machine Interface & Control for Highly Automated Chemical Screening Processes (with David Kaber, Robert St. Amant), sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF), 10/01/04 – 09/31/07
Project Description: Biological and chemical compound screening for new drug discovery is an emerging industry with the potential to improve the quality of human life. The need for High Throughput Screening (HTS) process of organic or synthetic compounds for...
