John Baillieul
Prof. Baillieul focuses on robotics, the control of mechanical systems, and mathematical system theory. His work in the late 1980’s led to seminal papers on motion planning for kinematically redundant manipulators. Earlier work on nonlinear optimal control theory foreshadowed much of the current literature on singular Riemannian geometry. Current research focuses on extending and applying […]
Thomas Bifano
Prof. Bifano’s research focuses on modeling, design, production, and use of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) in optical applications. He is a founder and CTO of Boston Micromachines Corporation in Cambridge, MA, a leading producer of deformable mirrors for applications in astronomy, bio-imaging, and defense.
Roberto Tron
Prof. Tron previously served as a post-doctoral researcher with the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. His research interests lie at the intersection of automatic control, robotics, and computer vision, with a particular emphasis on applications of Riemannian geometry and on distributed problems involving teams of multiple agents. Tron received his Ph.D. from John […]
