PSALM (Predictive Stochastic Adaptive Learning Machines) Lab at IIT Kharagpur is focused on research at the intersection of control theory and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The real world applications of AI require safety guarantee and explainability of the AI module. In addition, several modules such as sensing and perception, planning and action need to interact to complete the feedback loop. Our main focus is in planning and decision making but we also consider sensing and actuation along with the effects of communication channels whenever required. 

This project aims to develop a control theoretic approach to integrate deep learning with popular model predictive control (MPC) techniques. A proper pairing of MPC with Deep Learning can provide  trustworthiness and explainability to Artificial Intelligence and therefore useful in safety critical applications.
