Overview
My research interests include autonomous systems, aerial robotics, tele-robotics, human-machine interfaces (haptics), and broad applications of control systems and optimization in robotics, energy, and transportation systems. My current research focuses on the control of multi-agent robotic systems including aerial and ground-based vehicles. I am interested in developing control strategies for heterogeneous multi-agent systems, possibly including human operators, for use in a broad range of application such as search and rescue, disaster recovery, infrastructure maintenance and monitoring, transportation, mapping, and exploration.
In the past, our work in smart energy systems resulted in a number of new model-predictive control strategies for optimal operation of energy storage devices and renewable energy sources in smart grid environment. We have also developed advanced controllers for human-in-the-loop teleoperation of robotic manipulators. These controllers cover a wide range of system configurations from single-operator/single-robot systems to multiple-operator/multi-robot systems, bringing together human-in-the-loop and autonomous control of robotic systems.
Shahin Sirouspour received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Sharif University of Technology,Tehran, Iran, in 1995 and 1997, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, in 2003.
He is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada. He was on research leave with MDA Space Missions, Brampton, ON, during July 2010-June 2011. His research interests include autonomous systems, aerial robotics, teleoperation control, haptics, medical robotics, and optimization-based energy management and control in the smart grid environment.
