Former Zimbabwean Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara has announced the upcoming release of his latest book, “Design and Analysis of Control Systems: Driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

This timely publication delves into the transformative influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various sectors, including education and engineering.

As AI continues to reshape our world, Mutambara underscores the urgent need for fundamental changes in engineering education, particularly in Control Systems.

He highlights the emergence of novel computer-aided design (CAD) techniques and the pivotal role of AI-Based Design and Analysis of Control Systems. This burgeoning field has spurred innovative applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and sophisticated robotics.

Mutambara, who currently serves as the Director and Full Professor of the Institute for the Future of Knowledge (IFK) at the University of Johannesburg, is a versatile leader and expert in Robotics, Academia, Pan-Africanism, and Technology Strategy. Leading the Decentralized Artificial Intelligence and Control Systems (DAICS) Research Group, he actively engages in teaching Control Systems at the University, inspiring the next generation of innovators.

“Design and Analysis of Control Systems” stands as a testament to Mutambara’s dedication to shaping the future of knowledge and technological progress. As he asserts, “The status quo in Control Systems Engineering is no longer tenable. We must embrace reimagination and thought leadership.” This publication represents a pivotal stride toward reimagining the landscape of engineering education and leveraging AI for societal advancement.
