摘要（Abstract)： 

Asymptotic state regulation and feedback linearization are studied for a class of commonly seen uncertain nonlinear systems which are motivated by control of autonomous vehicle platoons. Specifically, an innovative adaptive control law is proposed to asymptotically stabilize and regulate the state vectors for the class of uncertain nonlinear feedback control system. In addition, a secondary least-squares estimator is developed to asymptotically linearize the uncertain nonlinear systems, in conjunction with the adaptive feedback control law. Finally, the results are applied to control of autonomous vehicle platoons, achieving not only the velocity consensus but also the required spacing between the neighboring vehicles.

Guoxiang Gu received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1988. From 1988 to 1990, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, as a Visiting Assistant Professor. Since 1990, he joined Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge, where he is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Professor Gu's research interests include networked control systems, modeling and system identification, and control applications. He has published two books, over 80 archive journal papers and numerous book chapters and over 100 conference papers. He has held visiting positions at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control from 1999 to 2001, and from 2018 to 2022, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization from 2006 to 2009, and Automatica from 2006 to 2012. He is presently the F. Hugh Coughlin/CLECO Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering at LSU, and a Fellow of IEEE.
