معرفی
Pedro Castillo is a DR CNRS Researcher at the Heudiasyc laboratory within the University of Technology of Compiègne, France. He leads the SyRI team (Systèmes Robotiques en Interaction) and oversees drone-related activities at the laboratory. His research focuses on nonlinear control, robust navigation, multi-agent systems, and resilient control strategies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
He has contributed significantly to the theoretical and experimental validation of control schemes for under-actuated systems, emphasizing real-time implementation on robotic platforms. His work bridges theoretical advancements and practical applications, particularly in aerial robotics and cooperative control architectures.
Dr. Castillo has supervised 19 PhD students (15 defended, 3 ongoing, and 1 cotutelle), managed 29 research projects, and organized over 50 seminars at Heudiasyc. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (2020–2024) and has participated in numerous academic committees, including ANR and HCERES evaluations. His research has resulted in over 170 scientific publications, including two influential books on aerial vehicle modeling and control.
Key contributions include the design of resilient control algorithms, multi-agent coordination frameworks, and hardware prototypes such as the PVTOL, octarotor, and ROMEO quadrotor. His work has been showcased at international conferences and trade fairs, solidifying Heudiasyc's reputation as a leader in UAV control research.
