Current Projects

 

Project List (includes past projects)

I Automatic Steering Using simple PID controllers to achieve the automatic steering for agriculture vehicles
I Fluid Power Fluid Power has a high power to weight ratio which makes it ideal for mobile applications.  These projects are focused on the study of fluid power system dynamics and the development of controls which optimize their power production.
I Header Height Control for Combine Harvester Developing an automatic control system that aims to improve the header height control performance of combine harvesters to follow the ground profile and reduce harvest losses with a relatively high proceeding speed.
I HVAC Modeling & Control Modeling and Control of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning Systems with the goal of improving energy efficiency of these types of systems
I MRD Microscale Robotic Deposition

Past Projects

I AVC Active Vibration Control
I CLOWN Control loops closed by wireless networks
