Observer and Control Design for Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles in various forms, shapes and capabilities are being seen everywhere around us. Such systems pose newer challenges in modelling, control and observer design.  The aim of the workshop is to expose the participants to recent theoretical and practical developments in these areas, and in particular, introduce them to the geometric flavour and computational tools, which have slowly but surely crept into all the three areas.

The talks by each speaker would range between 75 minutes and 105 minutes with a short break inbetween.  The target audience is largely graduate and senior undergraduate students with a preliminary exposure to linear systems, linear algebra and control.
