Gilbert was a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the 1994 IEEE Control Systems Award[2][3] (the citation reads: "for pioneering and innovative contributions to linear state space theory and its applications, especially realization and decoupling, as well as to control algorithms") and the 1996 Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award from the American Automatic Control Council.[4]
Gilbert died on June 16, 2019, at the age of 89.[5]
