学术报告题目： “Optimal and Robust Scheduling for Networked Control Systems”
内容简介：This talk discusses theoretical analysis approaches for the properties of NCSs from the control aspect but taking into consideration the issues related to the practical implementation. The aim is to contribute to the bridging of the gap between control theory and computer science since we believe that, if the bandwidth constraints of the communication medium are considered at the controller design stage, the performance of the controller significantly improves. The tools are applicable to time-triggered communication problems in industry, e.g. integration of control systems across automotive control networks, e.g. Flexray, or aerospace systems, e.g. AFDX.
The talk will at first explain NCS tools in the context of linear robust control theory and NCS tools which are then extended to the context of nonlinear plant and control systems.

学术报告题目：“Novel Adaptive Algorithms for Control and Estimation”
内容简介：In the first part, a novel robust adaptive law is introduced. The estimation algorithm exploits all known terms in the system dynamics to derive an explicit expression of the parameter estimation error without measuring acceleration in inertial systems. A sliding-mode term based adaptive law that captures directly the parameter estimation error can achieve finite time convergence. In the second part, other examples of novel adaptive algorithms are given. For instance, an adaptive optimal controller is exemplified which does not require knowledge of the controlled system dynamics. A novel model-free Q-learning based discrete adaptive optimal controller for a humanoid robotic arm is presented.
