Mechanics and Control

The Workshop on Control Mechanics has been held at the University of South­ ern California annually since 1988 under the leadership of late Professor Janislaw M. Skowronski. The primary goal of Professor Skowronski in organizing this series of work­ shops was to promote the use of advanced mechanics...
