Current Research Interests

Our current research interests are in the broad areas of control systems and robotics. We primarily focus on the design of estimation and control algorithms, with provable stability guarantees, for unmanned aerial and ground vehicles. We are particularely involved in the development of vision-aided inertial navigation systems for UAV applications in GPS-denied environments.

Some Heartwarming Students’ Comments on Teaching

Dr. Tayebi is one of the best teachers I have met in my entire studying career. I am very honored and cherish this short semester of studying with him.

This course made me keep looking forward to every tomorrow throughout this whole semester.

Professor Tayebi is a very professional teacher. His ideas are very clear, and his lectures are very organized. He can explain many abstract concepts to us with very simple examples or methods. He takes class very seriously and writes clearly on the blackboard, stroke by stroke, which enables us to keep up with his pace well. He is the best teacher I have ever met. I highly recommend taking his course.

Dr. Tayebi is probably one of the best professors i've had. Things are very clearly explained and tests are challenging but fair.

Dr. Tayebi knows in and out of the course which made the course really interesting. He didnt read from slides or book or notes. He just came in class take chalk and start presenting the materials. Awesome professor. Thank you for the knowledge.

Very involving and interesting course. Professor delivered in such a way that intrigues interest and encourages participation.

Professor Tayebi is an exemplar of professionalism. Shows up prepared, well dressed, and is very well spoken. Great prof teaching what could be a very tough class.

Probably the most thorough instructor I have ever had. Dr. Tayebi doesn't leave out much information.

This class is very interesting and keeps me stimulated from start to end. The ideas are always presented well and he takes the time to explain things more than once. You never feel he is rushing to get through topics. He is very knowledgeable about the topics and can relate the topics to real-life situations. He is an excellent instructor. His finals are very challenging but you feel you have actually learnt something when you are done. Excellent course.

I love Professor Tayebi. He has clear English pronunciation, excellent teaching skills, and can adjust the teaching pace according to our learning progress. He is also humorous and often brings laughter to the class. I am willing to give him a full score, he deserves it.

The instructor was enthusiastic about the material he was teaching and his teaching style broke down complex control techniques into easily understandable first principles.

I enjoyed the course content and how there are many examples done in class. It is appreciated when the professor is constantly checking if students are looking puzzled. Majority of the time, students are too shy to ask questions. This professor is dedicated to making sure his students are doing well by constantly checking to see if students are understanding the material. When he is given blank stares, he will try another method or repeat what was said to make sure everyone is following along.

Dr. Tayebi is an expert in the field of Control Systems and it shows. He answers almost every question that is asked. He is respectful, smart, and, at times, funny.

Dr. Tayebi is an excellent teacher, he answers questions appropriately, respectfully and professionally.
