The SysIDEA Robotics Lab engages in a wide range of projects in robotics and allied areas that use basic engineering principles related to dynamics, control theory, systems theory, and sometimes signal processing and data analysis. The projects often span the entire spectrum from mathematical theory, modeling, & analysis, computational simulations, table-top experiments & validations, and in some cases human subject studies. The lab thus has diverse interests and also attracts a diverse set of people from varying backgrounds and interests (including people who are passionate about experimental work, mathematical work, computational studies, specific applications, and making an impact on the field), and both discovery-driven and invention-driven projects are undertaken in the lab.
