High-assurance Mobility Control Lab
저희 연구팀은 사이버-물리 시스템(Cyber-Physical System, CPS)의 모델링, 제어 및 상태 추정 분야를 연구하며, 보안, 안전성, 성능 측면에서 보장된 CPS 운용을 위한 통합 제어 프레임워크 개발에 중점을 두고 있습니다. 이 과정에서 기본 이론과 응용을 모두 다루며, 제어 관점에서 CPS의 동적 거동 분석 및 설계 문제를 체계적으로 탐구합니다. 구체적인 연구분야로는 자율주행 시스템 시나리오 기반 결함 주입 시험 프레임워크, 학습 기반 불확실성 인식 내비게이션, 상호작용 인식 기반 예측 및 계획, 무인항공기(AAM)의 안전성과 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 고신뢰 자율비행 제어 소프트웨어 개발 등입니다.
Our research group focuses on the modeling, control, and state estimation of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), with an emphasis on developing integrated control frameworks that ensure secure, safe, and high-performance CPS operation. In this context, we address both fundamental theory and practical applications, systematically investigating the dynamic behavior and control design of CPS from a control-oriented perspective. Specific research areas include scenario-based fault injection testing frameworks for autonomous driving systems, learning-based uncertainty-aware navigation, interaction-aware prediction and planning, and the development of high-assurance autonomous flight control software to ensure the safety and reliability of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vehicles.
