In this talk we will review some of the fundamental differences in the flight control architectures in natural and engineered systems and report new findings regarding the connections between sensing, actuation, and flight dynamics in some of nature’s most agile flyers (insects).
The Northern California Aerospace Symposium (NCAS) is an annual research seminar that connects leading researchers, faculty, and students within the aerospace and aeronautics field across Northern California.
In this talk I will try to survey developments in automotive computer control systems during the past four decades, which incidentally and fortuitously coincided with my career in this exciting and challenging field.
Professor Jonathon Schofield (MAE) will give a seminar entitled "Bionic prosthetic limbs: Merging man and machine through engineering, neuroscience, and rehabilitation medicine"
Prof. Donald Margolis will give a Seminar entitled: Industrial Applications of Bond Graph Modeling. Bond graphs are a concise pictorial representation of all types of interacting dynamic systems.
Dr. Dan Negrut from University of Wisconsin-Madison will give a seminar entitled: Designing autonomous robots via simulation. How it goes, and why it doesn’t go far enough yet.
