ABSTRACT
This talk addresses cooperative stability and cooperative control of networked heterogeneous systems. Stability theory is the branch of mathematics used to analyze both qualitative and quantitative properties of dynamical systems, and control theory has played a key role in designing numerous engineering systems. Contemporary sensing and communication networks enable collection and subscription of geographically-distributed information and such information can be used to significantly enhance the performance of many of existing systems. Through a shared sensing/communication network, heterogeneous systems can now be controlled to operate autonomously and robustly as a group and to exhibit cooperative behaviors.
The talk illustrates analysis and design tools for cooperative systems among which information exchanges are local and intermittent, their changing patterns are not known a priori, and may have significant latencies.
Canonical forms are introduced to ensure cooperative stability and design cooperative control for networked linear and nonlinear systems, respectively. Extensions to uncertain dynamic systems are also discussed.
BIOGRAPGY INFORMATION
Dr. Qu received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in June 1990. Since then, he has been with the University of Central Florida and is currently the SAIC Distinguished Professor of University of Central Florida, and is also the Guangbiao Professor of Zhejiang University. Dr. Qu's areas of expertise are nonlinear systems and control, energy and power systems, and robotics. His recent research activities in controls have been cooperative control of heterogeneous dynamical systems as well as control of nonholonomic systems. In energy systems, his current research covers such subjects as dynamic stability of distributed power systems, anti-islanding control and protection, distributed generation and load sharing control, distributed VAR compensation, and distributed optimization. Dr. Qu is the author of three books: Robust Tracking Control of Robot Manipulators by IEEE Press (1996), Robust Control of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems by John Wiley & Sons (1998), and Cooperative Control of Dynamical Systems with Applications to Autonomous Vehicles by Springer Verlag (2009). His research has been supported by governmental agencies (NSF, Army, AFOSR, ONR, NASA, Oak Ridge, DoE) and industry (Lockheed, L-3, SAIC. Dr. Qu is a Fellow of IEEE and currently serves on Board of Governors of IEEE Control Systems Society and as Associate Editor for Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and International Journal of Robotics and Automation.
