Jessy W. Grizzle is a (full) Professor in the Control Systems Laboratory of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department within the College of Engineering at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is a member of the Systems Laboratory and the area of Robotics and Computer Vision. The activity at Michigan in control systems is very interdisciplinary and moves easily across traditional departmental boundaries. We maintain a very active College of Engineering Control Seminar Series. Additional EECS Control Lab information is available here. For more fun stuff, see the EECS YouTube Home Page. MABEL videos are available on YouTube: DynamicLegLocomotion Channel. Recent Book: Feedback Control of Dynamic Bipedal Robot Locomotion provides information about a recent book co-authored with Eric R. Westervelt, Christine Chevallereau, Jun-Ho Choi, and Benjamin Morris that was published by Taylor & Francis in June, 2007. My primary research area used to be the theory of nonlinear control systems. While I still have strong interest in this subject and feel a sense of community with that body of researchers, my research activities have significantly broadened over time. My work now covers the modeling and control of automotive powertrain systems, and the control of bipedal robots. From 1991-2001, I applied systems and control techniques to improve the operation of plasma-based microelectronics manufacturing equipment. |
