Welcome to CAM Lab!
dedicated to Control, Automation, and Mechatronics (CAM) systems
Hossein Mirinejad, Ph.D., Director of CAM lab, is an Assistant Professor in the College of Aeronautics and Engineering, Kent State University, Kent, OH.
Research in CAM lab is focused on advancing the design, modeling, testing, and control of autonomous systems using fundamentals of dynamical systems and automatic control theory. Our research covers a wide range of applications, including aerospace systems, robotics, and healthcare domains, and integrates several key areas, including computational modeling, optimization strategies, and control engineering techniques, to develop effective, functional strategies for autonomous systems in human life support systems. We employ a combination of rigorous theory and practical implementation to bring new tools to the control system community and show their revolutionary impact on real-world applications.
