The Control Group at the Department of Information Engineering was founded in 1996 and consists of six professors and about ten researchers. The main expertise of the group includes robust control, hybrid systems, model predictive control, sequencing and scheduling, identification, dynamic vision in autonomous navigation, underwater applications. While the main emphasis of the group is on the development of theoretical and computational tools, several experimental projects are also carried on which validate such tools and stimulate new research problems. The research group is financially supported by MURST (Ministero della Università e Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica), Italian Space Agency, Italian Research Council, and other local private and public institutions.
