The Research Line in Optimization and Control of Distributed Systems focuses its scientific activity on both a theoretical and applied field. On the one hand, the SDG group studies the modeling, simulation, estimation, and control of the so-called Cyber-Physical Systems (SCFs). SCFs are intelligent networked systems that incorporate sensors, controllers, and actuators. SCFs are designed to interact with the physical world and human beings, aiming to perform certain operations in real time, keeping a specific performance in critical situations. Among the potential applications of this technology, the following are proposed: i) the use of fleets of autonomous aquatic vehicles as a versatile platform for the execution of different missions in rivers, lakes, or reservoirs; and ii) the development of the digitalization of agriculture, taking steps towards the so-called Smart and Sustainable Agriculture.
