RESEARCH & PROJECTS                                                               

Supervisor: Prof.Dr. Herbert Werner [TUHH, Hamburg]

Supervisor: Dr. Thomas Berger [UHH, Hamburg]

To design an LPV (Linear-Parameter Varying) controller for a 6-DOF AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) to track a reference path and reject disturbances. Conservatism and complexity are compared for LPV gridding and LFT (Linear Fractional Transformation) based synthesis techniques.

Supervisor: Assistant Professor Dr. Abubakr Muhammad [LUMS SSE]

Supervisor: Associate Professor Dr. Vincent Winstead [Minnesota State University, USA]

To study dynamics of a two-leg robot, walking on a downhill slope due to gravity. Control for such locomotion is designed using applied mathematics stability analysis of limit cycles in MATLAB.

To Study ‘Motion planning’ as a bounded value problem of path planning, for a robot vehicle with obstacles. Combinatorial methods in probabilistic roadmaps are studied for path planning for Dubin’s Car with physical limitation in discrete and continuous domains.

Term Project:  EE 321: Data Acquisition and interfacing

Supervisor: Assistant Professor Dr. Momin Uppal

To study dynamics of an Inverted Pendulum, and design control using stability analysis, phase plane analysis, bifurcation theory, and singular perturbation theory.

Project completed during summer internship
