Research summary

Bin Yao works on precision motion control for mechanical and hydraulic systems, developing adaptive and robust control algorithms that let machines like drilling rigs, robotic manipulators, hydraulic actuators, and quadrotor drones move accurately despite uncertainties, disturbances, and physical constraints such as delays or actuator limits. The work is largely theoretical and experimental, combining mathematical control design with hardware case studies in industrial equipment and aerial robotics. A prospective student would be working on designing and testing control algorithms, often validated on physical testbeds such as electro-hydraulic systems, gantry stages, or drones.
