There has been a steady growth in the interactions between control theory
and various branches of the physical and biological sciences. These
interactions have been significantly influenced by the increasing role of the
dynamical systems perspective in these sciences. This series of talks is
designed to highlight some of the exciting developments now taking place at
the forefront of research in Control and Dynamical Systems and to draw
attention to some of the emerging interdisciplinary connections. In 1998, this series
will include contributions by engineers, mathematicians, physicists,
materials scientists and neuroscientists, exploring work ranging from algorithms
for GPS, to manufacturing techniques for micro-sensors, to problems in auditory
localization of interest in bio-mimetic robotics, to the design of smart actuators
and sensors for control systems, based on advances in materials science, to the
creation of learning algorithms for adaptive systems.
This series is supported in part by the Army Research Office under the ODDR&E MURI97 Program Grant No. DAAG55-97-1-0114 to the Center for Dynamics and Control of Smart Structures (through Harvard University).
