报告摘要：

The key features of Multi-agent Systems (MAS) are communication, coordination, and collaboration, by which the agents can achieve a common (and possibly difficult) goal in a more effective and efficient way. Three main topics within the realm of MAS are consensus, flocking and formation control. Cooperating processes often require agents to reach a consensus, which is the fundamental problem in MAS. Flocking (or swarming) is a self-organizing behavior originated from small-size animals with lower intelligence, which enables the emergence of swarm intelligence to improve the whole system survivability and competitiveness. Formation  control  generally  aims  to  drive  the  agents  to  achieve  a  desired  formation,  scalable  and/or changeable. In this talk, modeling analysis and design of a variety of distributed schemes for consensus and formation control are introduced. Simulations and experimental examples are provided to demonstrate the potential of the proposed new design techniques.

He is now a Professor at the  School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Director of Advanced Unmanned Systems Laboratory, at the University of Adelaide, Australia. His research interests include systems and control theory and applications to autonomous

and robotic systems, cyber-physical systems, and multi-agent systems. He has received many awards and recognitions, including the MA Sargent Medal Award from the Engineers Australia in 2022,  and  the  Lifetime  Leader  Board  acknowledgement  from  THE  AUSTRALIAN  from  2019-2021. Currently he serves as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, and senior editorial roles in some journals, including the Co-Editor of Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and a Senior Editor of IEEE Access. His professional services also include as the President of the International Academy  for  Systems  and  Cybernetic  Sciences,  the  Vice  President  of IEEE  SMC  Society,  and  IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He is a Fellow of IEEE, IET, IEAust and CAA, a Member of the Academy of Europe, and an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy of Scientists.
