Supervision and Fault diagnosis of technical systems based on mathematical models
Advanced control of nonlinear dynamic system subject to constraints. With emphasis on reference governor methods
The main lines of research are:
– Command and Reference Governor Schemes
– NON-optimization Based Constrained Control Schemes
and their applications to:
– Aerial Robotics
– Distributed Systems (Power Networks)
Application domains
Electric energy production, distribution, and storage
Projects in electricity production and distribution aim at improving the availability of renewable energy sources, at accounting for the variability of renewable energy production in network security assessment and at ensuring ancillary services (see more).
Mechatronics (UAVs and robotics)
The goal is to develop control units for Unmanned Aerial Systems to enable the UAVs (quadrotors, multirotors, blimps, etc.) to interact with the environment and to perform operations (see more).

BrIAS Forum on War & Peace, and Robotics
April 4, 2024
The first day will focus on “Peace” and in particular how robotics can help to “clear up” remnants of war and ensure a safe restart of life at peace. The first half day will be focusing on the theme “A safer sea” and will mostly deal with marine demining, with a special attention to the innovation surrounding the Belgian Mine Counter Measures program. The second part of the day will deal with land demining. The second day will focus on “War”, and in particular on the Historical, Ethical, Legal, and Geopolitical aspects of Robotics at War. The goal of this second day is to inform the public about the current policies as well as the various different perspectives and positions on the matter, so as to stimulate an informed debate. Polemics for the sake of polemics and uninformed/acritical political statements should stay out of this day.
BrIAS Forum on Human-Robot Collaboration
April 4, 2024
Robots are becoming an integral part of our economy, society and planet, assisting us in various tasks. However, the rapid growth in robotics usage has also given rise to relevant concerns regarding sustainability. At present, urgent issues such as rare-earth material usage, e-waste, energy efficiency and ethical concerns hinders the sustainable development of robotics. As we increasingly rely on robotics, it becomes increasingly critical and urgent to ensure that these technological advancements are sustainable and eco-friendly. Since robotics is the integration of many technologies, we will discuss in this Forum sustainable robotics technologies ranging from material science, material processing and metal, electronics with sensors and processing, actuators, energy, power and batteries and control and artificial intelligence
