Welcome to GDAC Lab
Welcome to GDAC Laboratory
This site introduces the Geometric Dynamics, Autonomy, and Control Laboratory (GDAC Lab) at Nagoya Institute of Technology. We hope it is useful for prospective students, colleagues in academia and industry, and anyone interested in control theory, robotics, and safety-critical systems.
We develop theory and experiments for safety-critical control, geometric methods on SE(3)/SO(3), and applications such as wheeled drones and infrastructure inspection. A concise overview is on the Research page.
Photo gallery
This site is a work in progress. We are adding photos, richer lab descriptions, and dedicated student information over time. The links below already cover our research themes, members, publication lists, and how to reach us.
On this site
- Research — themes and directions
- Lab operating guidelines — affiliation (undergraduate and graduate), forthcoming
- People — faculty and students
- Publications — papers (EN list) and Japanese list
- Access — address and directions
Prospective students
Undergraduate and graduate affiliation will be summarized on our lab operating guidelines page (introductory placeholders only until the policy text is ready). Visiting, contacting the lab, and other prospective student guides are still in preparation. For what we study, see Research and People. Formal dates and procedures follow Nagoya Institute of Technology announcements.
If you are currently enrolled at an overseas university or graduate school and may join NITech through the student exchange programs listed for such students, start from NITech’s Student Exchange Program page. Program applications are often due around five months before your intended stay, so please contact our lab as early as possible if you hope to be hosted here under one of those routes.
Photos & media: we plan to add more images (experiments, equipment, and similar) over time.
