Welcome to the website of the Laboratory for Innovations in Sensing, Estimation and Control (LISEC). The research in our laboratory focuses on the design of estimation algorithms, sensors and controllers for smart and autonomous systems.
Specific major areas of research in our lab have included
- Autonomous/ intelligent vehicles: Estimation algorithms and control systems, autonomous vehicle control, perception, localization, sensor fusion, object recognition, novel low-cost sensors, vehicle tracking algorithms, active safety systems for smart bicycles and e-scooters, tire-road friction coefficient estimation, and development of novel vehicle platforms.
- Fundamental development of observer design algorithms for nonlinear systems, and of estimation algorithms for fault diagnostics, unknown input estimation, resilience, and cyber-attack detection.
- Smart and autonomous biomedical systems: Wearable sensors, motion analysis, pose estimation, automated activity recognition and automated food intake monitoring.
Our lab's research skills cover a broad range of mechanical engineering including development of estimation algorithms, observer design for nonlinear systems, development of new sensing principles, control system design, vehicle dynamics and analysis of noise and vibrations.
Below are some featured projects from our lab.
