"Intelligent Control Based on Neurdynamic Optimization"
|
Professor Jun Wang |
AbstractNeurodynamic optimization play important roles intelligent control. In this talk, neurodynamic optimization approaches will be presented for in synthesis and realization of intelligent control systems. First, the robust pole assignment of linear control systems will be introduced based on neurodynamic optimization. Then, neurodynimics-based reference or command governor optimization will be delineated. Next, nonlinear and robust model predictive control based neurodynamic optimization will be discussed. Simulation and experimental results will also be shown to demonstrate the efficacy and performance of the proposed neurodynamics-based approaches for the intelligent control of various dynamic systems. |

"Switching in Complex Network Systems: A Control Engineering Perspective"
Professor Xinghuo Yu, IEEE Fellow RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia |
AbstractMany real-world systems are of large-scale network nature, such as power grids and biological systems. A major challenge is how to deal with sheer size and complexity of these large-scale networked systems to deliver desirable and time-critical outcomes. Switching phenomena are common in complex network systems. Understanding the switching phenomena in complex network systems will help address significant industrial problems such as maintaining stability of smart grids with large number of intermittent renewable energy sources. |

"A Survey of Quantum Control Engineering"
Professor Ian R. PetersenResearch School of Engineering, The Australian National University |
AbstractThis talk will survey the area of quantum control engineering. It will discuss models for quantum systems using both the Schrodinger and Heisenberg pictures of quantum mechanics including finite level quantum systems and continuous linear quantum systems. It will also discuss the open loop quantum control of quantum systems including robust and learning based approaches. In addition, it will discuss closed loop approaches to quantum control including measurement based feedback control and quantum filtering along with coherent quantum feedback control in which the controller is also a quantum system. In the area of coherent control of quantum linear quantum systems, it will discuss quantum H - infinity control, quantum LQG control and coherent quantum observers and coherent quantum state estimation. |
