Control Theory: Real World Application

Dr. Jae Lew, PhD

Senior Principal Scientist

Eaton Innovation Center

This presentation will discuss the application of control theory to various electro-mechanical-hydraulic systems that Dr. Lew has developed/led under government and industry R&D programs. He intends to share his experience and view on how control theory plays an important role in creating new functionality, higher productivity, better energy efficiency and safer environments for humans. His examples will include (1) Structural vibration control of the long-reach robotic arm for nuclear waste underground storage tanks; (2) Sea basing: Ship-to-ship cargo/vehicles transfer under relative motion; (3) Vehicle stability control thru active torque management; and (4) Electro-hydraulics actuator control system.
