讲座简介：

Title 1: Consensus and Formation Control of Multiagent Systems

The objective of this talk is to present some state-of-the-arts as well as recent results within the context of consensus problem in multiagent systems. In particular, distributed cooperative control systems and distributed model predictive control of multiagent systems are presented for consensus problem under communication control protocol. Moreover, some recent results concentrated on cooperative control of the networked robotic systems are given, in particular, the problem of the finite-time output multiformation tracking problem of networked heterogeneous robotic systems. Then, the talk is concluded by some concluding remarks.

Title 2: Switched Control Systems: Learning Techniques

The objective of this talk is to present some state-of-the-arts as well as recent results within the context of intelligent learning problem in switched control systems. In particular, finite-time synchronization for switched neural networks as well as region stabilization issue of switched neural networks with multiple modes and multiple equilibria will be addressed. Besides, application of neural network scheme is presented to perform the motion control of redundant robot manipulators with constraints. Then, the talk is concluded by some concluding remarks.
