By combining machine learning and control theory, Poveda expands field of autonomy

April 12, 2021

Jorge Poveda has been working for years to improve the ways autonomous systems overcome problems they encounter on the job. It’s complex work that could impact our everyday life, like our daily commute in autonomous cars, to more imaginative goals like swarms of robots working in unison. By combining concepts from artificial intelligence and machine learning with well-known control theories, he may have found a new approach that could prove key to moving forward on many fronts.
