Future Mobility Lab
About Us
Welcome The Future Mobility Lab website! Our lab, founded by Professor Francis Assadian, studies modeling, simulation, and control of dynamic systems. Some of our focuses are: bond graph and multibody dynamic models of ground vehicle dynamics, global chassis control systems, alternative powertrain technologies, energy optimization, optimal control, and robust control.
Current Research Topics
- Design of controls for multi-robotic system through computer vision in automated manufacturing environment
- Integrated Vehicle Dynamics and Control
- Optimal Energy Management for Battery Aging Reduction
- Brake-by-Wire Systems for Future Vehicles
- Artificial Intelligence for Vehicle Dynamic Modeling and Control
Ongoing Projects
- Off-road Autonomous Vehicle Project- Link
- Ford Project global chassis control
- Ford project computer vision guided robot manipulator
