Our group is working on cyber-physical & human systems, interconnected systems of mutually interacting cyber, physical and human components, for a variety of large-scale systems. In particular, we study in an effort to work out fundamental principles to coordinate human/society and highly-networked control systems to ensure optimality and robustness via distributed decision-makings. The main target application fields include smart agriculture, smart sky/ocean, and energy management. Beyond theory-oriented work, we are also addressing social implementation of networked robotics and human-robot collaborations through interdisciplinary collaborative research projects.

Bio

Takeshi Hatanaka (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics and physics from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 2007. He then held faculty positions with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan and Osaka University, Suita, Japan. Since October 2024, he has been a Professor with the Institute of Science Tokyo. He is coauthor of Passivity-Based Control and Estimation in Networked Robotics (Springer, 2015) and co-editor of Economically-enabled Energy Management (Springer Nature, 2020). His research interests include cyber-physical-human systems and networked robotics. He was the recipient of the Kimura Award (2017), Pioneer Award (2014), Pioneer Technology Award (2023), Outstanding Book Award (2016), Control Division Conference Award (2018), Takeda Prize (2020), and Outstanding Paper Awards (2009, 2015, 2020, 2021, 2023) all from The Society of Instrumental and Control Engineers (SICE), and IFAC 2023 Application Paper Prize Finalist. He is serving/served as an SE for IEEE TSCT, an editorial board member of Annual Reviews in Control, and an AE for IEEE TSCT, IFAC Journal of Mechatronics, Advanced Robotics and SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration, and an IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board member.
