    Magnus B. Egerstedt (born June 28, 1971) is a Swedish-American

    Georgia Institute of Technology
    .

    Egerstedt is a major contributor to the theory of hybrid and discrete event systems, and in particular, the control of

    multi-agent systems.[2]

    Biography

    Education

    Magnus Egerstedt was born in

    Ph.D. in applied mathematics under the advisement of Xiaoming Hu and Anders Lindquist for the thesis Motion Planning and Control of Mobile Robots.[3] At KTH, Egerstedt was affiliated with (and the first graduate from) the Center for Autonomous Systems.[4]

    Career

    In 1998, Egerstedt was a

    School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University
    , focusing on formal methods for robot control.

    Egerstedt joined the

    Georgia Institute of Technology as a faculty member in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2001, where he has held the positions of Schlumberger Professor (2013–2016), Julian T. Hightower Chair in Systems and Controls (2016–2018), and Associate Chair for Research (2014–2016). In August 2018, he was appointed as the Steve W. Chaddick School Chair of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.[5]
    Egerstedt is also holds adjunct appointments in the School of Interactive Computing, the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, and the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

    In 2016, Egerstedt was named the Executive Director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, a position he held for two years.[6] In 2017, Egerstedt launched the Robotarium, a swarm-robotic research testbed whose goal is to provide access to a state-of-the-art test facility to researchers around the globe.[7]

    In July 2021, Egerstedt joined the University of California, Irvine, where he is the Dean of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering.[1]

    The Robotarium

    The Robotarium is a remotely accessible swarm robotics testbed designed and developed by Magnus Egerstedt at Georgia Tech. The Robotarium provides researchers working on swarm robotics access to both ground and aerial robots. Since its launch in August 2017, over 200 research groups from all continents except Antarctica have used the Robotarium.[23]

    Publications

    Egerstedt has authored over 400 research papers in the areas of robotics and control, including the books:
