Workshops

Organizers: Martina Mammarella, Gokhan Inalhan, Andrea L'Afflitto

The goal of this one-day workshop is to present state-of-the-art research in control systems theory and its applications to solve relevant problems in aerospace engineering. During the workshop, participants will be driven through several thrilling and promising solutions to current and future challenges such as trustworthy autonomy, learning, trajectory planning, and control in the presence of constraints to name a few.

This workshop will be sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Aerospace Controls (TCAC). The speakers will be leading TCAC members from industry, government, and academia involved in some of the most exciting research and development efforts in the aerospace field. The workshop will offer opportunities for questions and answers at the end of each presentation, during two coffee breaks a lunch break, and at a final roundtable discussion with presenters, participants, and other TCAC members. With this initiative, the organizers aim to provide an open forum for discussion with major stakeholders, including researchers, engineers, companies, and practitioners interested in control, identification, and automation in aerospace applications.

For researchers in control science and engineering—whether graduate students, faculty, or industrial staff—the pathways to real-world impact can seem mysterious and murky. A theoretical breakthrough, an algorithmic advance, a simulation or laboratory demonstration—the immediate outcomes of research projects tend to be along these lines. Impact-seeking researchers may be able to envision new products, services, and solutions that their developments could lead to, but how does one go from research to practice?
