Welcome to my website. My research team is with the Advanced
Control and Mechatronics Laboratory (ACM-Lab) located in C1-151, Dept. of
Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University.
Research Opportunities Graduate positions are available in the group. If you are interested, please send your updated CV with a list of sample publications and three referees to yajun.pan@dal.ca. Research Interests My current research interests are mainly in the areas of systems and control, mechatronics and robotics. Specifically, the following projects are currently carried out in my research team: a) Robust Nonlinear Control of Systems with Constraints; b) Teleoperation Systems with Applications to Robotic Manipulators, Electric Vehicles, Haptic Devices and Mobile Robots; c) Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Applications to Multiple Mobile Robots, Collaborative Unmanned Systems; d) Intelligent Transportation Control and dGPS based Navigation Systems; e) Networked and Distributed Control Systems; f) Haptics/Exoskeletons/Human Machine Interfaces; g) Model Predictive Control; h) Assistive Robotics.
