ποΈ New episode! We explore the beautiful intersection of complexity, emergent behaviour, and feedback control with @mdiberna (@UninaIT). We discuss chaos and bifurcations, piecewise-smooth systems, complex networks, synthetic biology, COVID modeling, and control across scales! π
New inControl episode out! π This time Steve Brunton, aka @eigensteve π₯, walks us through data-driven modeling and control: from DMD and Koopman operator theory, to SINDy, explainable AI π€, HydroGym π, and how to teach math to half a million people! π
ποΈNew episode! Our new inControl Guide toοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ dives into the Nyquist stability criterion: a theorem that decides the fate of a feedback system by watching a curve encircle a point.πOne of the most beautiful ideas in control where stability, topology, and complex analysis meet. π
When did optimal control begin? From a bead sliding down a wire in 1696 to neural networks playing Go. From the brachistochrone to Lagrange, Hamilton, Pontryagin... and yes, AlphaGo! The episode covers 300 years of optimal control, from Enlightenment puzzles to AI milestones π
ποΈ New episode! Jeff Shamma (@UofIllinois) on gain scheduling, robustness, and why the waterbed effect never really goes away. From PhD years to game theory and multi-agent learning... and the one piece of advice from both control and jiu-jitsu: βDonβt get tired.β Unmissable!
New episode out ποΈ This one is a bit different: we look at female influencers in control β ideas, trajectories, some data, and why this conversation matters. Constructive feedback, criticism, and perspectives welcome π¬
ποΈ New episode! What is feedback, really? We go back to its prehistory, revisit Blackβs negative-feedback amplifier, and trace the idea through biology, strategy, behaviour, and even our assumptions about causality.

ποΈ New episode! We travel back to 19th-century Russia to meet A. M. Lyapunov, the mathematician who gave science the language of stability. Through a life marked by devotion and tragedy, his 1892 thesis still shapes how we understand dynamics, uncertainty, and control today.
π¦ New episode! Legendary traffic-control pioneer Markos Papageorgiou (@tuc_chania) joins us to discuss how intelligent control algorithms help cut congestion, reduce COβ emission, and keep cities moving for millions every day!
ποΈ New episode! @DellaSantinaC takes us inside soft robotics β a young, daring field where compliance replaces rigidity, intelligence emerges from shape, and underactuation is a feature, not a flaw. A rare front-row seat to a discipline with more questions than answers. ππ§
Our first "inControl Guide" episode is out! π From Kalman's paradigm-shifting state-space approach to the space race, complex networks, and more β a ~1h deep dive into some of the main pillars of modern control theory. Plus a small surprise awaits π Let us know what you think!
ποΈ New episode! Mathukumalli Vidyasagar walks us through five decades of asking (and answering) the right questions in control, learning, and applied math β from feedback systems to statistical learning, HMMs, compressed sensing, and non-convex optimization. Unmissable! ππ§
ποΈ New episode! Anders Rantzer (@lunduniversity) walks us through robust control, IQCs, the KYP lemma, nonlinear and hybrid systems, scalability and positivity, and dual (adaptive) control. A journey shaped by the dialogue between Western and Russian control traditions β donβt miss it! π§ π
New episode! πMiroslav KrstiΔ (@KrsticUCSD) joins us to retrace a landmark journey β from nonlinear adaptive control to backstepping for PDEs, delay compensation via predictors, extremum seeking, safety and neural operators for PDE control. A must for every control enthusiast!
ποΈ New episode! Manfred Morari traces his journey from chemical process control to IMC, robust and predictive control, MPC, and lessons from a career spanning @ETH, @Caltech & @Penn. From theory to real-world impact, this episode is a must-listen for any control enthusiast! ππ§
New episode! ποΈ Today, we dive into Richard Bellmanβs legacy as the father of dynamic programming. π§ From his early life in Brooklyn to Princeton, Los Alamos, RAND, and Stanford, we explore his monumental contributions to control theory, which set the stage for modern AI π
New episode out π @khjohansson (@KTHuniversity) takes us on a journey through hybrid systems, wireless and event-based control, mobility applications, cybersecurity, and societal-scale challenges. π Semper in motu β a captivating dive into the future of control systems!ποΈβ¨
New season! π And we kick off with a real gem π @MuntherDahleh (@MIT) takes us on a journey from L1 control to agile robotic maneuvers, the power of abstractions, cascaded failures, markets, and the role of data and systems thinking in solving societal problems.π Donβt miss out! ποΈπ
