Dr. Yucelen's research at the Missouri University of Science and Technology is focused on the creation of new information, control, and decision algorithms that reveal advanced systems such as highly capable autonomous vehicles and networked multivehicle systems. These systems are envisioned to elevate human society as well as to perform safety-critical operations with more robots and less humans. Specifically, his research is focused on:- Robust and adaptive control of safety-critical systems- Resilient autonomous vehicles and robotics- Distributed estimation and control of large-scale systems- Collective motion and networked multiagent systems- Biologically-inspired control and learning- Smart modular systemsHe aims to significantly advance the knowledge and train science-based engineers and professionals to shape the future of our society.
