Title: Structured Dissipativity for Distributed Economic Model Predictive Control
Abstract: This talk is concerned with the cost optimal operation of large-scale system interconnections by means of distributed economic MPC. In particular, the interconnection of dissipative subsystems through coupling costs is considered. Under certain conditions on the interconnection structure, the local subsystems' dissipativity properties carry over to the interconnected overall system, yielding structured (approximate) dissipativity of the overall system, which in turn characterizes its optimal mode of operation. Notably, this overall property can be verified locally and its structure resembles the interconnection structure, which allows for plug-and-play operations and application of non-iterative distributed economic MPC algorithms.

Title: Automatic Generation and Formal Verification of Safe PLC Programs for Railway Control Systems
Abstract: This lecture deals with research activities in partnership with SNCF (French Railway Company) to develop an integrated methodology for automatic generation, formal verification and implementation of safe PLC programs for Railway Control Systems. The first phase of the methodology focuses on the improvement of the engineering workflow during the design phase of the control system of the Power Supply Equipment of the Electric Lines (PSEEL). It results in a standardized generation of the control deliverables, including wiring diagrams and PLC programs. The second phase of the methodology is related to the application of formal verification and/or control synthesis techniques to guarantee the safety of the control installation. The verification procedure is used in place of the manual testing approaches to verify the conformity of the PLC programs with respect to safety properties that are defined by the expert. The verification is based on automatically generated models of the PSEEL, the PLC programs and PLC scan cycle. The control synthesis procedure consists of designing a robust filter to be used in conjunction with the PLC program in such a way to guarantee the generation of safe PLC-program outputs. This methodology results in: i) improving the “overloaded” workflow of systems engineers, while reducing the fatigue and stress, and ii) enhancing the system reliability due to the reduction of breakdowns on site.

Title: Data-Driven Modeling in Linear Dynamic Networks
Abstract: In many areas of science and technology, the complexity of dynamic systems that are being considered, grows beyond the level of single systems into interconnected networks of dynamic systems. In control and optimization this has led to the development of decentralized and distributed algorithms for control/optimization, as e.g. in multi-agent systems. >From the perspectives of modeling and learning, data-driven modelling tools are typically developed for relatively simple open-loop and closed-loop structures, while the opportunities for big data handling in the current data science era, are becoming abundant. As a result there is a strong need for the development of data-driven modelling and learning tools for large-scale interconnected dynamic networks. In this seminar we will highlight the main developments and challenges in this area, including local module identification, sensor and actuator placement, graph-theoretic tools, as well aspects of network identifiability.

Title: Biomimetic Robots
Abstract: Nature has been an inspiration for many technological innovations. Especially, research in biomimetic robots has been motivated by the superior characteristics of animals and insects which are utilized to overcome the limitations of conventional technologies. These biomimetic robots are being developed by applying various bio-electro-mechanical analyses, new materials, advanced nanotechnologies, and integration of various functionalities. In the future, autonomous biomimetic robots will also be developed by combining high-level artificial intelligence and ultra-low power circuits and wireless communication technologies.
In this talk, the state-of-the-art of biomimetic robots is presented. Representative ground biomimetic robots, aerial biomimetic robots, and underwater biomimetic robots will be introduced. Furthermore, the technological limitations of the present biomimetic robots and the direction of development that needs to be taken to overcome them will be discussed.
