Nominator's project description
| Professor Agrawal is internationally well known for his outstanding research in the area of methods based on differential flatness for non-linear systems. He has made important contributions to the systematic design procedure and the problem of trajectory generation based on optimization strategies. During his stay in Germany, he intends to work on integrative approaches for design and control for under-actuated mechanical systems. |
