12月16日，加拿大维多利亚大学机械工程系教授施阳博士应学院邀请，通过腾讯会议在线上为我院做《A Lyapunov-based MPC Framework for Autonomous Systems》的专题讲座。本次讲座由副院长徐建军主持，电气院师生共计100余人参会交流、研讨。
本次专题讲座，施阳教授首先介绍了针对于四旋翼控制领域模型预测控制（MPC）中模型不确定性的敏感性和巨大的计算需求一种高效的解决方案：一种双速率分层自适应李雅普诺夫模型预测控制框架，专为具有未知执行器故障的四旋翼轨迹跟踪控制设计。并介绍了双速率双环架构的各项优点，比如通过以比内环更慢的速率采样外环，有效降低了计算负担而不牺牲控制精度，使其更适用于实际应用，此外施阳教授解释说内置的自适应机制使四旋翼能够补偿意外的执行器故障，确保稳定性和精确的轨迹跟踪。
专题报告结束后，参会老师与研究生踊跃提问交流，施阳逐一耐心解答，与我院教师针对扰动策略的选取，内外环采样速录等问题展开了讨论，开拓了诸位老师与研究生在该领域研究的视野，得到与会师生的高度评价。
施阳教授简介
Yang SHI received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, he was an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2009, he joined the University of Victoria, and now he is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. His current research interests include networked and distributed systems, model predictive control (MPC), cyber-physical systems (CPS), robotics and mechatronics, navigation and control of autonomous systems (AUV and UAV), and energy system applications.
