讲座内容:

With the rapid development of networked control technology, networked multi-agent control systems have a wide range of applications in the fields of human daily life and scientific application engineering, such as the Internet of Things, intelligent transportation, smart grid, satellite formation and so on. Due to communication constraints (e.g., network delays, data loss, bandwidth, attacks, faults, variable network topology etc.), there exist various challenges in the design, analysis and implementation of networked multi-agent systems. This talk mainly introduces the predictive control method, stability and consensus analysis, and implementation techniques of networked multi-agent systems. The networked multi-agent predictive control method makes use of the network characteristics of transmitting vector data streams and adopts the predictive control idea to compensate for communication constraints so that the control performance of networked multi-agent systems is almost the same as the one of systems without networks. The networked multi-agent predictive control system is analyzed, and its closed-loop stability and consensus criteria are obtained. Utilising several experimental platforms of networked multi-agent control systems, the simulations and experiments of various networked multi-agent predictive control systems are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the networked multi-agent predictive control method.

简介：

   Professor Guoping Liu received the BEng and MEng degrees from Central South University of Technology (now Central South University, China) in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and the PhD degree from UMIST (now University of Manchester, UK) in 1992. He did the postdoctoral research in the University of York in 1992 -1993. He worked as a research fellow in the University of Sheffield in 1994-1996. During 1996-2000, he was a senior engineer in GEC-Alsthom and ALSTOM, and then a principal engineer and a project leader in ABB ALSTOM Power. He was a senior lecturer in the University of Nottingham in 2000-2003, a Hundred-Talent Program visiting professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001-2005, a Changjiang Scholar visiting professor and then Qianren Program visiting professor of Harbin Institute of Technology in 2008-2013. He has been a professor in the University of South Wales since 2004. Prof Liu’s research interests include networked control systems, multi-agent systems, multi-objective optimal control, nonlinear identification and control, and industrial advanced control applications. He has completed more than 60 research projects as a principal investigator. He is an author of 10 books, 2 edited books, over 200 SCI journal papers and numerous conference papers. Prof. Liu was the general chair of the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control, the 2011 International Conference on Intelligent Control and Information Processing, and the 2012 UKACC International Conference on Control. He has served as an Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Automation and Computing and an Honorary Editor-in-Chief of the journal "Advances in Internet of Things". He is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of IET.
