电气和计算机工程哲学博士-智能系统，机器人和控制

电气和计算机工程系（ECE）允许学生通过MS或Ph.D研究生课程。程式。ECE提供研究生课程，可攻读MS和Ph.D。电气工程学士学位，具有以下各个领域的专业：通信理论与系统，计算机工程，电子电路与系统，电子设备与材料，智能系统，机器人与控制，磁记录，光子学，无线电与空间科学以及信号和图像处理。此外，在先进制造，应用海洋科学和材料科学领域设有跨学科课程。MS程序也以研究为导向，旨在为随后的博士学位提供必要的强化技术准备。提供了两种学习计划，都需要成功完成48个季度单元的课程学分。计划I是课程工作和研究的结合
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.
