About

Objective


This workshop aims to disseminate state-of-the-art results in the modeling and control of mechanical systems using energy approaches. To this end, the proposed program consists of 8 talks, which cover a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, modeling and control of flexible structures; tuning techniques and performance analysis of energy-based controllers; the synergy between energy-based control methodologies and neural networks; and the use of energy-based methods in robotic surgery.


Expected outcomes


The expected outcomes are:

  • To get acquainted with the trending topics in modeling and control of mechanical systems via energy-based methods.

  • To show some areas of applications of such methods.

  • To promote the exchange of ideas to solve open problems in the control and modeling of mechanical systems.


Expected audience


The program of this workshop is intended for a broad audience, ranging from Ph.D. students working on the modeling and control of mechanical systems to senior researchers whose research interests intersect the broad range of problems covered by the program. To this end, the talks are planned to be accessible to anyone with a basic background in control theory and mechanics, modeling, or robotics.
