Abstract of the talk:

Unmanned systems including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems (UAVs or UASs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Autonomous/Driverless Cars, as well as Unmanned Surface/Underwater Vehicles (USVs/UUVs) are gaining more and more attention during the last a few years due to their important contributions and cost-effective applications in several tasks such as surveillance, sense, search, rescue, agriculture, forest and environment, pipelines and powerlines, military and security applications. On the other hand, health management and Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) of manned aircraft have a long history since the initial research on self-repairing flight control systems in US Air Force and NASA begun in mid-1980s. However, due to safety concern of manned aerial vehicles to the pilot, experimental test and further practical research and development have been limited. Benefited from the recent and significant advances and developments of UAVs, development and application of autonomous, fault-tolerant, and cooperative control techniques have been emerged and developed quickly in recent years, since UAVs provide a cheap and operative experimental testbed for development, implementation, testing and validation of the newly developed autonomous, fault-tolerant, cooperative and even the latest Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control (FTCC) techniques.

In this talk, brief review on the development of autonomous unmanned aircraft systems and challenges on autonomy and fault tolerance of unmanned systems will be given first, then the latest development and current research work on FTCC with applications to autonomous quadrotor helicopter UAVs, wheeled mobile robots/ground vehicles testbeds and unmanned surface vehicles developed in collaboration with industry at Concordia University, as well as applications to wind turbines/farm in the renewable energy field, will be introduced.

Abstract: In the ever-lasting efforts of reducing emissions, improving efficiencies, and enhancing occupant safety for ground vehicles, importance of control and estimation systems has been growing rapidly due to the substantially elevated system complexities contributed by the fast technological advances in various relevant fields. Accompanied with the quick evolution of vehicle technologies, designs of vehicle estimation and control systems have become much more challenging and critical as well. Synergistic combinations of physical insight into vehicle system characteristics, computational and communication capabilities, and theories of estimation and control may offer effective means for tackling such challenges. This talk presents a variety of vehicle system estimation and control research activities aiming to clean, efficient, safe, and smart ground mobility. Innovative syntheses of estimation and control theories with physical understanding of engine, aftertreatment, vehicle chassis, and transportation systems for conventional, electrified, and connected vehicles will be emphasized through examples. Along with the system analytical designs, experimental and simulation results will be given to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of the control systems for current and future ground vehicles. Extending beyond vehicle systems, several recent research efforts on smart cities/communities and human-robot interactions will be briefly introduced as well.

ABSTRACT: Robot will continue to be a hot topic in many years to come in this “big data, cloud computing, machine learning, virtual reality age”. But finding publishable research problems to attach in robotic control area is getting harder and harder. This talk will offer a new angle for emerging multi-robot control research opportunities. First, we treat robots as a network of moving sensors or moving actuators (MAS-net) that can be communicating with each other, forming a bigger closed loop control system, known as CPS (cyber-physical systems). Then I will further discuss the next step towards CHS: cyber-human systems, that extends our horizon of research attacks. I will share my belief that “Cyber-Human Systems” (CHS) will be a hot topic in the next 10-20 years as human (individual, team, society/community), computer (fixed, mobile and surrounds), and environment (physical, mixed and virtual) fuse.
