题目： On Singular Perturbations and Time Scales (SPaTS) – An Overview
演讲人：Prof. D. Subbaram Naidu
Idaho State University, USA
时间： 2009年12月14日（周一）上午 10:00－11:00
地点：闵行校区数学系102报告厅

报告简介：With introductory remarks on education and research in sciences and engineering, an overview of the research experiences in Singular Perturbations and Time Scales (SPaTS) is presented. First, we summarize basic concepts and features of SPaTS in terms of slow and fast dynamics responsible for “stiffness” of the original high-order system, recovery of the neglected fast dynamics and the lost boundary conditions and decoupling of the original system into low-order slow and fast subsystems providing order reduction and stiffness relief. Then, the techniques for continuous and discrete control systems are summarized with applications to electrical, aerospace, and robotics systems. Finally, some recent results include Unified Approach for Closed-Loop Optimal Control, and Singular Perturbation Analysis of a Flexible Beam Used in Underwater Exploration.

Finally, some recent results include Analysis of Non-dimensional Forms of Singular Perturbation Structures for Hypersonic Vehicles.

题目： Hybrid Control Strategies for Biomedical Engineering Systems

报告简介：An overview of the research experiences in hybrid control strategies for biomedical engineering systems is presented. The hybrid control strategy is the fusion of hard computing or control techniques such as proportional, integral, derivative (PID), optimal, and adaptive and soft computing or control techniques involving neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms. The hybrid control strategies capture the best features of both hard and soft control and open new windows of applications in biomedical such as blood circulatory systems, insulin administration to a diabetic patient, and smart prosthetic hand. Finally, some recent results include Hybrid Control Strategy for Five-Fingered Smart Prosthetic Hand.
