Our Mission
The Cooperative Networks and Controls (ConNeCt) lab focuses on the control and coordination of multi-agent systems. Our approach for studying these systems is through a blend of systems and control theory with graph theory. While our heart and soul rests in the fundamental and theoretical challenges of networked systems, we also consider their real-world application through a robotic testbed consisting of ground and aerial vehicles.
The Connect lab is a research group in the Stephen B. Klein Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Our team consists of students from across the Technion and researchers from around the world. Our physical home is within the Philadelphia Flight Control Laboratory. Come visit!
We are always looking for highly-motivated individuals to join our group, see details here.
