Research in modern systems science covers a variety of topics, with an emphasis on the intensive use of mathematics and computers in distributed complex dynamical systems which evolve in an environment containing considerable uncertainty and complexity.<br><br>Consider, for example, the control of a mobile robotic system interacting with a changing environment. The intent is for the elements of the system (arms, camera, mobile base) to cooperate in the performance of some complex task. The nature of the cooperative interaction is task dependent and may require real-time adjustments to accommodate sensed environmental constraints. The control loop is subject to external disturbances (e.g. changes in the environment), and the robot structural properties change with changing loads. Measurements of the relevant states are made by conventional position or force sensors as well as image sensors (video cameras). These measurements are subject to both noise - random perturbations in the sensor outputs and artifacts (e.g. partial obscuration of the image field). The need for good planning and control for nominal performance, as well as proper emergency capability, also complicates the design problem. The system must operate properly in a wide range of operating modes.
