Review: Here control means the use of algorithms and feedback in engineered systems. The panel’s remit was to provide a renewed vision of future challenges and opportunities in the field, along with recommendations to US government agencies, universities and research organizations. The report aims to raise the visibility of research in control, highlights importance in applications of national interest, and indicates some key trends that are important for continued vitality of the field. Chapters cover applications, opportunities and challenges in aerospace, transportation, information and networks, robotics and intelligent machines, biology and medicine, materials and processing, as well as other applications. There is also a close look at control education. The report ends with five recommendations for accelerating the impact of control.
