| Optical sensors are known from
e.g. automatic opening of doors in shops or trains when a person approaches.
Other applications are optical sensors used for measurement of speed and
positioning of mechanical movements in steering gears, called encoders
or tachometers.
The heart of a Compact Disc player is a control
system that focuses and tracks optically stored information by using several
optical sensors.
The purpose of the OPTOCTRL-project is to establish
an international research environment in the area of robust and non-linear
control theory and to develop technological expertise in control of systems
with optical sensors.
A large part of the research is carried out
in 2 Ph.D. projects:
-
Robust and Non-Linear
Control of Compact Disc players
-
Intelligent Regulation
of Optical Sensor Systems
