The Research Group of Distributed Control in Interconnected Systems deals with methodological approaches for control-oriented modeling and synthesis of optimal, robust and adaptive methods for the control and state estimation of complex dynamic systems. Depending on the objective of the model use, problem-specific description forms are derived for offline control synthesis as well as for real-time capable implementation by using ordinary or fractional differential equations and distributed parameter representations. All of them are interlinked with uncertainty models and a reliable sensitivity analysis in all design and implementation phases.

In addition to multi-physical effects, the focus is on suitable methods for quantifying uncertainty in both set-based and stochastic form in order to reliably verify functionality and safety properties. The range of applications includes energy informatics issues (e.g. control of electrochemical energy converters, validation of battery management systems and control of power electronic actuators), applications in robotics and interfaces to the use of control algorithms in human-machine interaction, in particular through the membership of the interdisciplinary Research Center Human Cyber-Physical at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg.
