A Control System is a collection of mechanical and electrical mechanisms that work together to provide the desired response. Control Systems can be used in basic systems such as flashing the toilet to complex systems such as an electric car.
This research area mainly focuses on the two main types of control systems: open-loop control systems and closed-loop control systems. It explores innovative ways of designing controllers in the mechanical and electrical engineering fields. This research area is related to various disciplines such as neural network controls, fuzzy logic controls, Adaptive control, optimal control, and robust control, to mention a few.
