Duffie has constructed several experimental manufacturing systems that incorporate real-time, fully distributed scheduling and optimization into their control systems. He is developing theories explaining the properties and performance of these systems.
Duffie is associate director of the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics. Research at the NASA-funded center emphasizes automated agriculture systems, sensors for tactile feedback to human operators in telerobotic systems, and methods for performance evaluation, as well as human factors research in sensory feedback and fatigue. He has developed a telerobotics test bed in which experimental work is carried out.
Duffie works closely with manufacturing and aerospace industries and teaches courses on manufacturing systems, automatic controls and computer controls. He co-authored Computer Control of Machines and Processes.
