Richard M. Voyles works on robotics and control systems, with a focus on how robots plan motion and adapt to uncertainty using neural-network-based control methods, including a specialized type of math model called fractional-order and predefined-time convergent neural networks. His group's work spans robot motion planning, multirotor drone actuator monitoring, robotic ultrasound systems, and cybersecurity for robots, indicating a broad, applied engineering research program that connects theoretical control algorithms to real-world robotic hardware and healthcare devices.
