This project focuses on the controllability and observability of systems governed by high-order partial differential equations. The project scope is twofold. On the one side, the analysis of controllability and observability for such class of infinite-dimensional systems, along with the synthesis of optimal control laws and distributed state observers, will be provided from a purely theoretical viewpoint. On the other side, the obtained results will be instrumental for pursuing advances and improvements in challenging applications within the biomedical domain. In particular we will address the task of controlling and simulating the motion of flexible catheters, the problem of controlling continuum-robots by means of magnetic actuation and the operation of automatic positioning of probes for thermal ablation procedures.
