SGER：电池供电的嵌入式计算机上可行的控制任务目的：PI提出了一个研究方案，为电池供电的嵌入式计算机上控制任务的分析和设计奠定了理论基础。在现代应用中，反馈控制律通常被实现为在有限的能量预算所施加的约束下在嵌入式计算机中调度和执行的控制任务。 PI提出了使用计算延迟和采样周期作为反馈控制机制。这种定时控制实现为在线反馈调度算法所产生的方法启发机器人导航，路径跟踪，避障。智力优点：所提出的工作可能会建立平稳过渡，从数学设计的控制律的计算设计的控制任务的嵌入式计算机。 我们的目标是有一个理论的控制律是正确的，也适用于一个真实的系统。 该研究可以提供指导方针，在控制计算能力协同设计的信息物理系统，并有助于反馈控制理论在真实的生活中的成功application.Broader影响：PI被赋予一个使命，建立第一个博士水平的研究和教育计划，在控制系统和机器人在萨凡纳，GA。 机器人技术是嵌入式计算机控制任务应用的关键领域。PI是萨凡纳地区沿海机器人俱乐部的联合创始人，通过高中和初中学生参加的夏令营、讲习班和辅导班，为研究生和本科生提供教学经验。

SGER: Feasible control tasks on battery powered embedded computersObjective: The PI proposes a research program to establish a theoretical foundation for analysis and design of control tasks on embedded computers powered by battery. In modern day applications, feedback control laws are typically implemented as control tasks that are scheduled and executed in an embedded computer under constraints imposed by limited energy budget. The PI proposes to use computing delay and sampling period as feedback control mechanism. This timing control is implemented as online feedback scheduling algorithms generated by methods inspired by robot navigation, path following, and obstacle avoidance.Intellectual Merit:The proposed work may establish smooth transition from the mathematical design of control laws to the computational design of control tasks on embedded computers. The goal is to have a theory for a control law that is correct and also works on a real system. The research may provide guidelines in control-computing-power co-design for cyber-physical systems and contribute to the success of feedback control theory in real life applications.Broader Impacts:The PI is endowed with a mission to establish the first PhD level research and education programs in both control systems and robotics in Savannah, GA. Robotics is a key area for applications of control tasks on embedded computers. The PI is a co-founder of the coastal robotics club in the Savannah area to provide teaching experience to graduate and undergraduate students through summer camps, workshops and tutoring sessions attended by high school and middle school students.
