Research at the Institute of Control Theory
Research at the Institute includes on the one hand side the development of mathematical methods for the analysis and design of control systems, on the other hand side selected practical-experimental activities where highest technological challenges have to be met.
Research Areas and Research Projects
The core competencies of the Institute of Control Theory are
- controller and observer design for linear and nonlinear systems,
- application of algorithmic differentiation for controller and observer design,
- theory and application of flatness based control,
- control of distributed parameter systems,
- algebraic methods in control theory,
- control of technological process for industrial crystal growth (Czochralski-, Floating-Zone- und Vertical-Gradient-Freeze-process).
