TitleMulti-objective Complementary Control

Abstract: In this presentation, a multi-objective complementary control (MOCC) design framework is presented. This framework originates from YoulaKucera parameterization in transfer functions and is extended to state space description. In particular, a state-space solution is first developed for a new stabilizing control structure consisting of two arbitrarily designed independent controllers and a Youla-Kucera type parameter (Qparameter) which is constructed to assemble two independent controllers. It is then shown that these two independent controllers operate in a naturally complementary way, thanks to coordination function of the specifically constructed Q-parameter as modulated by the residue output signal reflecting modeling error, when multi-objective performances are considered. Various examples are presented to illustrate the applications and advantages of this new multi-objective complementary framework to linear and nonlinear problems. This new framework is a breakthrough in contrast with traditional trade-off control design.

TitleAdvances on Hand Exoskeletons: Design, Perception and Interaction

Abstract: Hand is one most important organ of human beings, which plays a critical role in daily lives. Meanwhile, the hands have a strong connection with the humans nervous system. Therefore, the hand exoskeleton cannot only help the patients or the elderly to regain their hand functions in daily activities, but also serves as an important media of shaping the neural plasticity, which is valuable theoretically and practically. This talk discusses the technical challenges and progress on the mechanical design of the hand exoskeleton, the wearable sensors for measuring humans movement and interaction, and some advanced interaction control algorithms.

TitleDecentralized cooperative online leaning with random observation matrices, communication graphs and time delays

Abstract: We analyze convergence of decentralized cooperative online learning algorithms by a network of multiple nodes via information exchanging in an uncertain environment. Each node has a linear observation of an unknown parameter with randomly time-varying observation matrices. The underlying communication network is modeled by a sequence of random digraphs and is subjected to nonuniform random time-varying delays in channels. Each node runs an online estimation algorithm consisting of a consensus term taking a weighted sum of its own estimate and neighbours delayed estimates, and an innovation term processing its own new measurement at each time step. Firstly, for the delay-free case, we show that the algorithm gains can be designed properly such that all nodes estimates converge to the true parameter in mean square and almost surely if the observation matrices and communication graphs satisfy the stochastic spatio-temporal persistence of excitation condition. Secondly, for the case with time delays, we introduce delay matrices to model the random time-varying communication delays between nodes. It is shown that under the stochastic spatio-temporal persistence of excitation condition, for any given bounded delays, proper algorithm gains can be designed to guarantee mean square convergence for the case with conditionally balanced digraphs.

TitleAdvances in intelligent navigation techniques

Abstract: Artificial intelligence technology has propelled the development and application of unmanned systems. Autonomous navigation capability is fundamental for unmanned systems. Traditional navigation methods primarily rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or inertial sensor, which suffer from susceptibility to interference and rapid divergence issues. Utilizing artificial intelligence technology to enhance the autonomous navigation capability of unmanned systems through camera perception has become a current research focus. This report specifically presents the recent research progress of our research group in intelligent navigation technology. Firstly, for search and rescue tasks, a remote sensing image matching and localization technique based on convolutional neural networks is proposed. Secondly, for autonomous driving and unmanned delivery, the robustness of visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology is improved by utilizing structured features and multi-source fusion. The efficiency of visual SLAM is enhanced through hardware acceleration and time synchronization. Lastly, for indoor services and human-machine interaction, end-to-end navigation technology is developed on ultra-low power platforms. It is expected to provide more accurate, faster, and robust navigation solutions for different unmanned system platforms.
