Brief Biography
A. Pedro Aguiar received the Licenciatura (5-year
university degree), M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico,
University of Lisbon (IST/UL),
Portugal in 1994, 1998 and 2002, respectively. Currently,
Dr. Aguiar is a Full Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering (DEEC), Faculty of Engineering, University of
Porto (FEUP),
Portugal. He is also the Director of ARISE - Advanced Production and Intelligent Systems Associate Laboratory (ARISE-LA), Scientific Coordinator of SYSTEC - Research Center for Systems and Technologies (SYSTEC), and Head of Cyber-Physical Control Systems and Robotics lab (C2SR). From 2002 to 2005, he was a post-doctoral
researcher at the Center for Control, Dynamical-Systems, and
Computation (CCDC)
at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). From 2005 to 2012,
he was a senior researcher with the Institute for Systems
and Robotics at IST (ISR/IST),
and an invited assistant professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, IST, Lisbon.
His research interests are in the area of Signals, Systems and Robotics, including modeling, control,
navigation, and guidance of autonomous robotic vehicles,
nonlinear control, switched and hybrid systems, tracking,
path-following, performance limitations, nonlinear
observers, the integration of machine vision with feedback
control, networked control, and coordinated/cooperative
control of multiple autonomous robotic vehicles.
