The research in linear control theory has a long tradition at the Institute. In early 1960s, under the guidance of Professor Strejc, researchers at the Institute made considerable developments in both transfer-function and state-space methods. In the 1970s and the 1980s, the members of the Department, led by Professor Kučera, achieved significant results, which launched an entirely new area of research worldwide. Among these are the parametrization of all controllers stabilizing a given plant (known as the Youla-Kučera parametrization) and the design of control systems via polynomial equations. In the 1990s, the research activities of the department ranged from robust control to nonlinear systems.
Applied research in the department focuses on numerical methods for control-system simulation and design, which yields various original software packages for control and simulation. The current research objectives in the Department of Control Theory, which has been led by Sergej Čelikovský since 2004, are the analysis and design of control systems on the one hand and the topological study of dynamical systems on the other. The four main research directions are:
Doc. RNDr. Sergej Čelikovský, CSc. byl jmenován čestným hostujícím profesorem Univerzity ve Wuhanu, Čína.
Wuhan je metropolí střední Číny ležící na soutoku řek Yangtze a Hanshui. Universita ve Wuhanu (www.whu.edu.cn/en/about/index.html) patří mezi významné čínské university s bohatou tradicí. Jmenování je tak výrazem ocenění dlouholeté vědecké spolupráce ÚTIA a S. Čelikovského s čínskými institucemi a odborníky v oblasti nelineárních dynamických systémů.Petr Augusta was awarded a Diploma in the Scientific Section of the XIth International Student Olympiad on Automatic Control for Theoretical Contribution in Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 17–19, 2006.
Professor Vladimír Kučera was awarded the Gold Felber medal of the Czech Technical University in 2006.
