| Acquisition and real-time manipulation of signals are critical aspects for effective experimental testing. In this work, an in-house solution is sought, which consists of designing a control board able to perform a set of prescribed functionalities. Tests on thermoacoustic machines will be performed. - Integrated Circuits

| Distributed generation and changing consumption will lead to under/over-voltages, which may force us to shed loads or to curtail generation. Control can mitigate these extreme actions. Using real data, we want to statistically analyze how modern controllers can virtually enforce the grid. - Control Engineering, Systems Theory and Control, Systems Theory and Control

| In the context of global warming, a challenging issue is reducing the amount of energy consumption, specifically in the building sector and meanwhile respecting the existing constraints. This necessitates utilizing advanced modelling techniques and control strategies for buildings energy systems. - Control Engineering

| This work builds upon very recent workon distributed interaction systems that we call Karma systems. We propose a mathematical formalism and numerical computation to predict user behavior in these systems. Your task is to 1. Improve existing code by making itfaster and more modular. 2.Design and run numerical experiments on individual agents interacting in a bigger social systemto understand the trade-offs of parameters that dictate what agents care about and how they interact.3. Quantify “social mobility”within the social system and find what parameters influence it most. - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| This work builds upon very recent workon distributed interaction systems that we call Karma systems. We propose a mathematical formalism and numerical computation to predict user behavior in these systems.Your task is to 1. Extend the theory to the Markov chain case. 2. Evaluate the effect of having mixed populations of agents with different attributes. 3. Understandthe effect of time discounting on agent strategies and optimality of solutions. 4. Can we quantify social mobility in the social systemand connected it to population mixing? - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| This project will use deep learning to recognise balls on a billiard table as part of the Automatic Control Lab's "DeepGreen" snooker robot project. We are building a robot able to take human-level accuracy shots, and this project will improve this accuracy further using reliable computer vision. - Calculus of Variations and Control Theory, Computer Vision, Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Intelligent Robotics, Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Genetic Alogrithms and Fuzzy Logic, Neurocognitive Patterns and Neural Networks, Robotics and Mechatronics, Systems Theory and Control, Systems Theory and Control

| This flexible paid position is to perform integration work on a robot billiard player at the Automatic Control Lab. After half a dozen highly successful student projects the robot can take shots, and we now wish to integrate the overall system and make it as easy to use and reliable as possible. - Computer Vision, Control Engineering, Intelligent Robotics, Process Control and Simulation, Robotics and Mechatronics, Systems Theory and Control
